So What Happens Next?
Authored by: mexaly on Tuesday, May 01 2012 @ 05:17 PM EDT
If the Schwartz blog has suddenly become interesting, material information, is
Java ownership the only thing at stake?

Or perhaps it isn't a sudden revelation?

I would think if it has this much import in this instance, these blogs will
suddenly become levers for others.

IANAL, but I watch actors play lawyers on high-definition television.
Thanks to our hosts and the legal experts that make Groklaw great.

Not all things in the annual report had to happen the first day of the fiscal year.

No embarrassment, I'm just trying to get my head around this. I have dealt with
SEC filings a lot, and from my layman's understanding of the rules, you cannot
make official statements about material company information without a message
along the lines of "These are forward looking statements, etc. blah,
blah". So either the blog post in question had that statement or it didn't,
and if it didn't then it wasn't material company information being published, or
else he and the company would be in for serious fines from the SEC, and they
brought it to the attention of the SEC in order to get permission to do so going
forward, so how can a blog post that does not contain that message be official
company information?
