Answer: Yes, by posting only a recommended stock list
## Explanation Mike Leung has violated Standard V(B) - Communication with Clients and Prospective Clients. According to this standard, members must: 1. **Disclose the basic format and general principles of the investment processes used to analyze investments** 2. **Disclose significant limitations and risks associated with the investment process** 3. **Distinguish between fact and opinion in the presentation of investment analysis** 4. **Disclose the general principles of the formats used to select investments and construct portfolios** **Why posting only a recommended stock list violates the standard:** - Simply posting a list of recommended stocks without providing the supporting analysis, methodology, or limitations is insufficient - The statement "additional information will be available upon request" does not fulfill the requirement for adequate communication - Clients need to understand the basis for recommendations to make informed decisions **Why using social media is NOT the violation (Option C is incorrect):** - There is no prohibition against using social media to communicate with clients - The medium of communication is not the issue; the content and completeness of the communication is what matters - As long as appropriate disclosures are made, social media can be a valid communication channel **Correct answer: B** - Leung violated the Standards by posting only a recommended stock list without providing the necessary supporting analysis and disclosures that would allow clients to understand the basis for the recommendations.
