Social Sciences - Journalism / journalism | | English term or phrase: "teeter on the edge" | Frase: Mark Cuban's Sharesleuth: Teetering on ethical edge?
Context: But journalists and financial bloggers have cried foul, saying while Sharesleuth's business model might be legal, there are conflicts of interest with betting on the subjects of your investigative journalism. Cuban denies there are ethical problems, and says he's not out to manipulate the market, and defends his new way of doing journalism:
"We aren't writing reports to move stocks. We are writing reports to report the facts. Chris [Carey] hears that from me all the time. If I traded on price movements, then there might be an issue. I don't. I don't pump and dump [tout the stock, then sell it], and we don't skunk and dump. I put on a position and stay with it till there is a material change in operations of the company. I don't cover or sell my position based on reaction to this or any article in the media." |
