I suppose that possible, but I tend to believe him and assume that he is just not allowed to confirm hard specifics like launch dates and direct release details until Verizon has given the green light (so as not to impede on non-disclosure agreements that ALL employees are required to sign when working for companies like Verizon)
But if he's a financial analyst (like me) and wants to prove himself without revealing his identity ask him to explain to us the value of WACC and why companies that have more debt pay less in taxes - only us financial analyst geeks know that one
If he wants to go for the hail mary, have him explain to us what the difference is between and mutual fund and hedge fund and why peeps like you and I aren't allowed to buy into a hedge fund - cuz again, only a true finance major would have studied that one in college
