After extensive research, retired portfolio manager Justin Blake, CFA, purchased 20000 shares of a small public company. He then posted messages on several Internet bulletin boards. The message read, "This stock is going up once the pending patents are released. The stock is a buy at anything below $3. I just bought 20000 shares for my personal account. I have done some close research on this company." According to the Standards of Practice Handbook, Blake most likely violated the Standard or Standards associated with:()
A. Conflicts of Interest and Integrity of Capital Markets.
B. Integrity of Capital Markets, but not Conflicts of Interest.
C. neither Conflicts of Interest nor Integrity of Capital Markets.
参考答案:B
解析:
[分析]: 由于Blake试图通过鼓励其他投资者购进相关公司的股票,从而达到人为刺激特定股票市场交易量的目的,其行为违反了执业操守标准Ⅱ(B)(市场操纵)的规定,亦即违反了资本市场诚信的相关规定。尽管Blake自身持有了其向公众推荐的股票,但考虑他已对外披露了其持有被推荐股票的相关事实,因而。Blake并未违反执业操守标准关于利益冲突的相关规定。 [考点] 资本市场诚信;利益冲突
