Daniel Moore, an analyst with CJS Securities, said in a research note that, &#8220;Given management&#8217;s more optimistic tone and the fact that other major sports franchises have garnered much higher increases, this outcome is likely to be viewed as disappointing by many investors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On this news, the value of WWE&#8217;s stock plummeted by over 43%.<\/p>\n<p>KSF&#8217;s investigation is focusing on whether WWE and\/or its officers and directors violated state or federal securities laws.<\/p>\n<p>If you have information that would assist KSF in its investigation, or would like to discuss your legal rights, you may, without obligation or cost to you, e-mail or call KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn ( lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com ) or KSF Partner Melinda Nicholson ( melinda.nicholson@ksfcounsel.com ) toll free at 1-877-515-1850. <\/p>\n<p>Read more at http:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/wi\/news\/2014\/0517\/576133\/wwe-being-investigated-for-possible-violations-of-state-or\/#z3QZPfcjZA57sDMV.99<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWE Being Investigated For Possible Violations Of State Or Federal Securities Laws<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[48],"class_list":["post-9649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-wwe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9649"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9650,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9649\/revisions\/9650"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
