After a long-standing relationship, Harold has been asked by his brother to provide personal advice on a specific stock. His brother is considering buying a significant amount of shares based solely on Harold's insights. While Harold feels knowledgeable about the company's fundamentals, he knows that sharing his insights could potentially violate the firm's code of ethics regarding insider trading and personal responsibility to his employer.
