 Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit against Microsoft Corp today 12th August, 2013 in a Violation of The Securities Exchange Act 1934 on the bases that Microsoft posted a false and misleading report on financial and sales performance of surface tablets. This Class Action Lawsuit is on Behalf of shares purchased between 18th April 2013 and 18 July 2013. It was claimed that after Microsoft posted a $900 million write down on surface that Microsoft's share price went down 11.4% or$4.04 . 

 From my own perspective ,Microsoft's share price from 18th April 2013 to 12th August was up over 14%. I'm not sure how valid the suit is in regard to the share price or how much damage it resulted in .

Hello,

 

I do not think you can sue a company for trying to be innovative.  Should be interesting to see how this turns out.

If you are an investor looking for dividends, and MS lies, you do have a case. it has nothing to do about being innovative. it has to do with the bottomline

I think the lawsuit can only win if there is evidence Microsoft either knew the sales were bad and mislead investors (not likely as they didn't release sales figures), or if there was insider information being leaked, which there's been no suggestion of.

 

Can't see this one getting out of the gate.

You dont know how corporations operate in regard of investors.

 

There are periodic meetings where companies share this kind of information to the most important investors. It is impossible that MS never knew about how the Surface was performing, they are even legally obligated to keep track of this.

Hello,

 

Uhm... yes, shareholder fraud is shareholder fraud, but RGRP is going to have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was some sort of intent to engage in fraudulent activity on Microsoft's part.  Aside from getting a free fishing license to go through Microsoft's confidential Surface-related emails and documents during the discovery process I don't see RGRP getting much out of this.

So I guess BBRY investors can sue BBRY for reporting high sale of Z10 ... then the stock dropped 25% later right :) ...

 

It's the stock market.  It is sensitive to everything.  Deal with it if you decide to buy stocks.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
