They literally spell it out on their disclaimer page.

Although we have a good faith belief in our analysis and believe it to be objective and unbiased, you are advised that we may have, either directly or indirectly, an economic interest in the performance of the securities of the companies whose products are the subject of our reports.

So while these exploits might be real, they just straight up fess to being shady as shit. This is some blackballing level of unethical behavior. They literally hit and run AMD for profit. Whoever these engineers are, this whole episode should be the end of any future career they might have had and it just stops short of what I would think would constitute an outright FTC investigation.

Twenty-four hour notice and then posting publicly the exploits isn't research, that's a willful attack.

The exploits are reported as serious by a few independent researchers who seem to have been given extra info, but do require that you have *already* powned the target.

And, somehow a short-seller named Viceroy saw fit to put out a report advising people to short AMD stock because they claimed to believe that this flaw would drive AMD to bankruptcy!

Definitely a money grab by CTS Labs. (I'll make a guess that Viceroy are dupes and are not intentionally doing something worth a visit from the SEC...)

I think you're under the mistaken impression that financial analyists looks at the world in the same way that regular, sane, people do. Some of these clowns actually think now is a good time to BUY Equifax stock. Well, either that, or they're currently holding a lot of Equifax stock themselves and are looking for some suckers who they intend to leave holding the bag.

Just out of curiosity driven by this story and apart from getting to this very very suspicious site http://www.naabt.org/buprenorp... compared to this more realistic site http://www.streetinsider.com/C..., it seems like the drug and treatment might not be all it is cracked up to be. I'll bet before to long we will see lobbyists demanding it be compulsory for all opioid drug offenders, profit, profit, profit, you can really see it coming.

I noticed the same. There is no actual announcement.

Click bait article is typical /. bullshit.

Now they've been sold who knows how far this place will slide.

Speaking of which, THAT would be an actual NEWS story for the front page...why isn't it on here? Fuck you Dice and fuck you BizX.

Cool, thanks for the news. Google seems to confirm what you say: http://www.streetinsider.com/C...

Or here as well: http://www.marketwired.com/pre...

Looking forward to have the same overlords as www.MyRatePlan.com, www.VoipReview.org and www.Voip-Info.org!

Microsoft just lost the Ford account to BlackBerry. I'm more inclined to think Microsoft sees the value in BlackBerry QNX in the IoT arena. BlackBerry is positioning itself to be the middleware glue for medical, auto, automation, and a host of other fields.

I can't find anything about this company that doesn't come from a press release.

The COO is James M. Demitrius. Looking him up, he's an accountant. Here's his bio. He was at Drexel Burnham Lambert during the Michael Milken era, before the indictments and bankruptcy. During the dot-com era, he was involved in the 1999 IPO of Ixnet, which was acquired by Global Crossing, which went bankrupt in 2002. Then he was COO of Frontier Communications for a year. Then Aluma Systems, a Canadian concrete company, which he arranged to sell off to somebody.

Yeah, I'm just not buying this.

Comcast, for one, added 599,000 video, high-speed internet, and voice subscribers in the first quarter of 2010 AND beat all of the analyst's predictions on profit. If this study were true, that wouldn't be the case.

Comcast’s 1Q beats last year and analysts’ estimates
Highlights From CMCSA's Q1 Conference Call

Interesting that he's not mentioned in the summary, but several other sources seem to indicate that Karl Rove is behind this.

Go ahead and mod me down, I've got decent karma.

Oh oops!!!

Mr Jobs later surrendered his options before they were exercised, implying that he did not gain any direct benefit from them. He was later given a grant of restricted stock by the company instead.
