Tweeting and Posting and the SEC

Suppose you mix it up with a portfolio company. You want to put word out about your thesis, and what a crappy job management has done, and how the BoD fell asleep, and how your plan and director nominees can fix things. 

 

And, suppose you already sent out news releases, and talked to the large investors, and published newspaper ads. Can you also use some more novel ways of communicating with shareholders? Tweet your message? Post it on social networks? 

 

Well, you can do all of those things, of course. Carl Icahn and Daniel Loeb do it, so why can't you? 

 

But, you need to follows some rules and regulations that pertain to all communications among investors. Thankfully, the SEC has set forth some guidelines for using social media, which activist investors should know about.

 

We explain these requirements in a current blog post.
