单选题 Edgar, CFA, a financial analyst and avid windsurfer, has begun an investment survey of the water sports leisure industry. His brother sells windsurfing gear and tells him that McGorell 5, the newest product manufactured by McGorell Enterprises, is the "hottest windsurfing rig on the market and will be highly profitable for McGorell Enterprises." Edgar had never heard of McGorell previously but after testing the board himself became very excited about the McGorell 5 and issued an investment recommendation of "buy" on McGorell Enterprises. As a result of issuing the recommendation, Edgar has:

A、 not violated the Code and Standards.
B、 violated the Code and Standards by failing to establish a reasonable and adequate basis.
C、 violated the Code and Standards by failing to consider the suitability of the investment of his clients.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 本题主要涉及执业操守标准Ⅴ(A)(尽职、合理的基本要求)的相关规定。
根据执业操守标准Ⅴ(A)的规定，会员在向客户提出一项具体投资建议以前，应当在合理的范围内充分了解与投资决策相关的一切细节。在本题中，埃德加仅凭对McGorell公司最新推出的一款产品的调查就得出了McGorell公司具有投资价值的结论，从而其投资建议显然缺乏合理且充足的依据，因而违反了执业操守标准Ⅴ(A)的相关规定。
