And it’s a publicly traded company that went down 10% on Friday due to these events.

I hope no one is dumb enough to spill the beans just for some karma. Especially when you don’t know what the official findings are yet.

Just do it, what do you have to lose, that company is toast anyway

I'd be surprised if they were toast. Big companies can fuck up with impunity - just look at Boeing. They can take a bit of an insurance hit, chalk it up to the cost of doing business, and pass the cost back to their customers in the long run.

It’s only market manipulation if you have the intention of making the stock go down, right? If answering the OP is illegal, then no employee of any listed company can ever say something bad about it, which sounds too restrictive?

Sounds like a great swing trade to take a long position in CRWD for retail.

I've taken a position in CRWD and I'm retail, but take that as the opposite of investment advice. Worked well in the past, though.

I'm amazed it only went down 10%. Some of my stocks go down that much because an analyst at some no name Canadian bank lowers their price target by 5%.
