When “Today” Is Not all of “Today”

“BREAKING NEWS THE [Politician] PORTFOLIO ON DUB SOARED +7.77% TODAY, HITTING A NEW ALL TIME HIGH OF +120%”

This proposed marketing blurb was submitted at 2:31 pm., before the markets has closed for the day. As the Massachusetts Secretary of State pointed out, that is not performance for the day. It’s only performance for part of “today.”

This blurb was pushed out through social media, so there was limited ability to clarify the meaning and add disclosures. It also doesn’t say which day “today” is referring to.
