That's right. I've been drinking so details will be sketchy to protect the innocent or cause I'm feeling it.
I have a daughter who is in her mid twenties. She works for a public kind of high profile company. They get an investment from a really big company. I say "did you know that xxx just bought x% of you"? She says "yeah I've known for awhile". I ask "Did you think about telling me". She says "dad, I can't do that, that's insider trading". Stock is up 80% since November. News just out recently. In fact up 50% Nov-Dec. Now just who do you think caused that stock to jump 50%? I guess just lucky investors.
I'm not here for math lessons or investing advice but for those that known there is a thing called "margin".
I sure hope her ethics serve her well as her bosses live in 15K sf mansions and are drinking the best champagne tonight. Hopefully she goes on to a long and lucrative career there as I sure don't want to be around the day they let her go and it's "I wish I coulda shoulda".
I feel a migraine coming on. Kinda hard to think about college hoops tonight.
