    Answer: d) Cannot sue Bob for misrepresentation

    Explanation: A misrepresentation is a false statement made from one person to another that a certain fact is true or accurate when it is indeed false. The fact that the value of the stock I bought on Bob's opinion does not give me the right to sue him for misrepresentation (intentional). The reason is this, Bob's expression of his opinion concerning the HotNet stock does not usually constitute a misrepresentation even when it turns out that his opinion is incorrect. It wasn't intended, however, he could be sued for negligent misrepresentation.
