In order to comply with the CFA Institute Standards, an analyst should:

A) use outside research only after verifying its accuracy.

B) use only his own research in making investment recommendations, because anything else would violate Standard I(B), Independence and Objectivity.

C) use only his company's research when making investment recommendations and use outside research for reports and analysis on stocks.

Standard I(B), Independence and Objectivity: the analyst is allowed to use outside research only after an insightful review. There are no restrictions regarding the exclusive use of outside information or in-house information.
