Proposed Rules for Analysts Raise the Ire of Publications: Rules proposed by the New York Stock Exchange that seek to disclose Wall Street analysts' possible conflicts of interest would create a quandary for newspapers and magazines, lawyers and editors said
Under the proposed rules, which require the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission, when analysts talk to journalists about a stock, they would have to disclose whether they own that stock or whether their firms do business for that company. But the rules also say that if a publication did not print this information when citing an analyst in an article, then the analyst would be expected not to speak to that publication again. An analyst who did not comply could be subject to penalties that could include fines or even suspension.
