### Comment:
If they tell their clients and the public to buy shares, and they start shorting, the SEC is going to start raising eyebrows.

### REPLY:
It's still not illegal for an analyst of a company to express their opinion on the markets and for the company to do the opposite. You slipped 'clients' in there, I'm guessing you're referring to what they did during the GFC which is very different.
