1. i think the issue would be the timing of the report to cause maximum damage. wouldnt research objectivity require you to disclose that you have clients in those short positions? it would be tantamount to market manipulation. its for that reason that you are supposed to have a firewall between your research and IB
2. yes. intellectual capital has nothing to do with physical removal of documentation. plagiarism = misrepresentation
3. similar question to mine.
