Securities regulationUnanimous
Breyer wrote for the Court in ruling that private actions under section 10(b) of the Exchange Act fail to state a claim if they allege no more than that the price of the stock was artificially inflated when purchased. Unless the price subsequently drops as a consequence of the market reacting to disclosure of the fraud, the stock purchaser has not suffered an injury.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States. It has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all U.S. federal court cases, and over state court cases that turn on questions of U.S. constitutional or federal law. It also has original jurisdiction over a narrow range of cases, specifically "all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party." The court holds the power of judicial review: the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. It is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law.
