In City of Livonia Employees Retirement System v. Boeing Co, City sued Boeing on behalf of all persons who bought Boeing stock in a certain time period on the basis that the company was overly optimistic about the time schedule for the new 787 aircraft. When problems with the plane developed, the stock fell ten percent. Suit claimed that company executives made false statements about the plane,

b. not liable for securities fraud because the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act requires that plaintiffs"demonstrate fraud" in company statements, which did not happen

e. American Express was liable for securities fraud because it did not have a separate section of the report that identified it as a forward looking statement
