Rhonda Meyer, CFA, is preparing a research report on Moon Ventures, Inc. In the course of her research she learns the following:
- Moon had its credit rating downgraded by a prominent rating agency 3 years ago due to sales pressure in the industry. The rating was restored 3 months later when the pressure resolved.
- Moon’s insider trading has been substantial over the last 3 months. Holdings of Moon shares by officers, directors, and key employees were reduced by 50% during that period.
