They were waiting for a denial before springing something else - IMHO; sucks they tripped themselves up instead of just reporting the facts...
McGavin999 is the man in AZ if you want to learn about FResponsibility!
You're right in the middle, too!
I'd like to get Joe S. on here...he been gettin' jiggy with it.
Come to Buckhead! heh heh
"Kerry has to be running one of the worst campaigns in US history. This just shows how terrible he'd run the country."
Yes, just look at this Godawful mess and imagine the whole U.S. government being run like that. It would make BJ and Hillary look like a walk in Central Park.
excellent report by dandelion
It depends.
Was it restricted or nonrestricted stock.
If it was restricted, there was a From 144 filed. What date was the form filed? It could have been filed before SeeBS ran with the 60 Minutes story.
If it was nonrestricted, a From 4 was filed.
Does Sumner Redstone have a habit of regularly selling Viacom shares? Probably.
The same mistake can't be made that SeeBS made. A lot of investigation needs to be done before anyone can claim Redstone's sale was inside information. Also, the SeeBS story became public information so you can't say there was inside information, otherwise you would have to say Redstone knew the story was bogus and SeeBS would take it on the chin. I highly doubt that is what Redstone was thinking before the story ran.
Besides, Viacom's stock has been sliding since the spring. Executives get a lot of stock. Usually, the stock exceeds the monetary pay in dollars. That means that executives are constantly selling stock of their companies.
Studies have shown that there is little positive correlation to long term insider stock sales to the price of the stock. Indeed, there is some negative correlation meaning that long term continued selling by insiders usually occurs when the price of the stock is rising.
Trying to pin Redstone's stock sale to the SeeBS story is barking up the wrong tree, in my professional Series 7 (NASD/SEC) licensed opinion.
I'm blunt.If you don't like it,ignore my posts.
And don't assume that because you think something should be the way you say it is,it is....it isn't. ;^)
Exactly what I think was intended.
Gauntlet was thrown down,and they have the sword to back it up.
Really? Wanna hear about my shearling slippers? hehehehehe
Bookmarked
Thank you
The situations are similar in that the risks greatly outweigh any potential gain (since the Kerry campaign pre-forgeries did not have the upper hand the way the Nixon campaign did).
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I don't think that anyone can just play the old deny,deny,deny game,when we have PROOF such as that link.
Right you are. W's a good family man. The DUnger types would scoff at that but it's true. Kerry and the drunk look like they're faking most of the time while Laura and W look like high school sweethearts falling in love.
ROTFLOL !
It's odd because I remember hearing Estrich wigging out on Bush saying that a lot of trash was going to come out on him. I haven't heard from her for about 10 days or so...
How long have you been listening to the MSM take anything innocent said by conservatives or republicans and turn it into radicalism,and hate speech? Forever,at least most of my life. We do not need to give them ammunition. Let's be smarter than them and think up a better nickname for the pajama freepers.
A fortnight on this one;decades behind in general! LOL
Roger that!
