Cold water poured on report of Apple TV-related media event next month
A proven Apple insider has just shot down Wednesday morning's report from Jefferies Equity Research suggesting Apple was preparing for a television-related media event next month.
The Loops Jim Dalrymple, who has proven to be extremely reliable when commenting on Apple's plans for media events and product introductions, refuted Jefferies' claim with a tersely-tailored blog post stating: "Nope."
In a report on Apple's product road map issued to clients earlier in the day, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said his channel checks suggested Apple was gearing up to host a media event related to its television initiative next month.
Details in the original report were extremely limited, with Misek stating only that he'd heard Apple was preparing for the event to possibly distribute tools to developers to take advantage of a new version of Apple TV that would launch this fall.

Run these analysts through the Dalrymple meat grinder. Every one of 'em.
Neither of them actually knows anything. Why would we listen to either of them?
Too bad that these people can't be held liable for spreading lies.
Dratts! :)

Can't they? Stock falls, Apple sues for tangible damages caused by slander, everyone shuts up for a good long while.

This is true, but likely to have about as much success as their suits against Samsung.
Stock manipulation is part and parcel of what analysts and stock traders do for a living. Insider information and promulgation of fake news reports is pretty much standard operating procedure as far as I can see. I can't remember anyone important being successfully prosecuted for anything like that for many years.
If they stopped this kind of thing they'd have to arrest most of the major players in the stock market.

What has Dalrymple been wrong about with his "yep"s and "nope"s?

Apple can't sue because the key words "allegedly, rumor, suggested, predict" are used. None of those are absolute. However, the SEC should investigate analysts if their rumors are untrue and cause a drastic rise/fall in stock price.

Jim's track record for accuracy speaks for itself. He never breaks scoops, but when he confirms or deny's them, you can take them to the bank.
