A. He should include any and all information relevant, regardless of the positive or negative implications for his firm and for Mark's Markets. Objectivity is of the utmost importance.
B. He should include all of the favorable information, but very little of the unfavorable. While objectivity is important, Gary must also think about the benefit to his firm.
