The Securities and Exchange Commission took the rare step of issuing a subpoena to two journalists, Carol S. Remond and Herb Greenberg, two weeks ago when it ordered columnists at two Dow Jones publications to provide information about conversations that they had with stock traders and analysts. Mr. Greenberg's columns have moved the share prices of some of the companies at issue, particularly Overstock.com, and as a result, he has rankled some executives. The subpoena had been issued to Carol S. Remond and Herb Greenberg, who disclosed its existence. The S.E.C. subpoena sought information from Mr. Greenberg about columns that he wrote for MarketWatch.com and from a columnist, Ms. Remond, for Dow Jones Newswires, about articles that have contributed to stock declines at several companies. His columns have moved the share prices of some of the companies at issue, particularly Overstock.com, and as a result, he has rankled some executives.
