Subject: Selective disclosure

There is no rational that justifies letting some people (companies, 
organizations, etc.) know any significant news about a publicly owned 
company without informing the WIDEST possible audience.  To do so is to 
deliberately create a group of "insiders" that then have the right to 
trade in that stock before the owners (the public) have access to the 
information.
