There is no material information or news that is available to any niche group if shareholders that is not reported to all shareholders. To do so is "selective diclosure". Gets your company halted, investigated, delisted and gets management charged with criminal activity.

A brokerage that talks to their clients from time to time about strategy and possible what ifs is a different animal completly and breaks no laws.

Other than a posters who talked to a person who mentioned a rumour they heard or made up about  the possibility of some meeting hardly merits all the angst being posted.
