if you want to pick stocks based on liking the letter in their ticker, it's not only legal, but it's about as rational as most other strategies.

"I did it for the LOLs" isn't a rational reason for an investment."

you not liking it doesn't make it irrational, and more to the point, doesn't prove it's illegal.

you think it's clearly fraud, I don't. we're dealing with the same information
