单选题 Claire Jones, CFA, is an analyst following natural gas companies in the United States. At an industry energy conference, the CFO of Alpine Energy states they are interested in making strategic acquisitions. At a separate event, Alpine's head of exploration commented he is bullish on natural gas production prospects within Northeastern Pennsylvania. Jones is aware that Alpine currently has very little exposure to this region. She also knows another company in her universe, Pure Energy, Inc., is based in Northeastern Pennsylvania and controls significant assets in the area. Pure Energy is highly leveraged, and Jones believes they will need to raise additional capital or partner with another firm to move to the production phase with their assets. Jones attempts to contact Alpine's CEO with an unrelated question and is told he is unavailable because he is on a business trip to Northeastern Pennsylvania. Jones updates her research on Pure Energy and then recommends the stock to Lisa Wong, CFA, a portfolio manager who purchases significant positions in client accounts. The following week, Pure Energy announces that they have entered into an agreement to be purchased by Alpine for a significant premium. Has either Jones or Wong most likely violated Standards with regards to the integrity of capital markets
