business law question

profile396555864

The television network CNBC and other television networks have been working to develop policies for their business correspondents and guests on their business shows because of conduct known as pump-and-dump, the practice of a Wall Street professional or network correspondent appearing on television to tout a particular stock as being a good buy.  Often, unbeknown to the viewing audience, the guest or correspondent promoting the stock has a large holding in it and, after the television show runs and the stock price creeps up, sells his or her interest at a higher price than would have been possible before the show on which the person raved about the stock appeared.  What category of ethical issues exists here?  If you were a network executive, what would you do to remedy the problem?  Should the government regulate such practices?
