Lisa Pierce, CFA, has been researching Lander Manufacturing for the past three weeks. She likes the company’s history of fulfilling its contracts on time and within budget. She learns from the uncle of a maintenance worker at Lander’s headquarters that a group of well-dressed individuals arrived at headquarters in a lime green-colored limousine. Pierce knows from publicly available information that Gilbert Controls needs a large supply of specialized motors in its domestic division. She also knows that the executive officers of Gilbert usually travel in a lime green limousine. Pierce concludes that it is very likely that Gilbert will offer a large contract to Lander. Based on this development and her prior research Pierce would like to acquire Lander Manufacturing shares for her client accounts.
Pierce should: A. not acquire the shares because she possesses material nonpublic information. B. proceed to acquire the shares. C. not acquire the shares until after she has contacted Lander's management and encouraged them to publicly announce information about the Gilbert Controls contract. She should also wait until Lander has made the announcement and the public has had time to react to it and then make the acquisition. |
