Wolfram Hitchwalker is a money manager with Armadillo Investments. He currently manages a few retirement accounts, clients who have a steady current income need and are averse to capital loss. Wolfram recently read a research report which concluded that the stock of HighFly, Inc. was a great buy because of a pending expansion plan into Southeast Asia which would double the profits of HighFly from foreign operations. Wolfram decided that the analysis was sound and that his clients could gain significantly if he bought the HighFly stock now and sold it once the price run-up occurred. Accordingly, he sold some of the fixed income securities in his client accounts and bought shares of HighFly. After two weeks, he sold the shares at a substantial profit and reinvested the funds back in fixed income securities. Wolfram has
Even though the transaction turned out to be profitable for the clients ex post, the decision to invest in the stock was unwise ex ante.

Shortin Mart is a quantitative research analyst with Dataminers, an investment advisory firm which prides itself on finding patterns in past market data. Shortin recently used data on high-yield, distressed firm corporate convertible bonds and discovered that over the last 3 years, this class has generated an astounding 76% rate of return (assuming optimal conversion). Realizing that this result is mainly due to a strong bull market, he recommends to his portfolio managers that if they believe the market will be bullish over the next year, they should add extreme junk bonds to their portfolios. Shortin has
Answer(s): D
In the present case, Shortin was negligent in that he did not carry out through analysis of his result. For one, he should have used a much longer period to determine a pattern. Second, he should have been careful in laying out all the caveats to his result and even questioned the validity of the result. By not following such a course, he violated Standard IV (A.1) - Reasonable Basis & Representations. Note that he has not violated Standard IV (A.2) - Research Reports.
