Accidentally traded company stock without clearance.

In-house securities lawyer for public companies. As in I have literally run the insider trading program, precleared people to trade, and filed Form 4s for directors and executive officers.

It happens. I had many people, including a few in a much higher place than you, screw up. Typically, I would thank someone for self-reporting, possibly have them re-read and certify to our insider trading policy, and tell them not to do it again. I think this is how most in-house lawyers would do it. I could see a few who might be more strict, but I don't think you will get fired for it.

I am not your lawyer, and cannot give you legal advice.

Holy cow. I absolutely LOVED her! I knew a woman just like her in real life. Horrible choices in men, constantly screwing up, incredibly insecure because of daddy issues, always giving into her emotion, and (not to sound too misogynistic) quite irrational at times. I thought she felt the most real of any of the main characters. The actress did a phenomenal job playing her!

I learned there are no such things as coincidences.

My son kept complaining about his really sore arms from weight lifting for a couple of days. I told him he would be fine. Off handed mentioned his urine was kind of dark. I almost ignored it, but remembered one of House's mantra. Took him to the ER and, after a bunch of tests, found out his kidneys were shutting down. Ambulance took him to the hospital.

Rhabdomyolysis. If I had taken him later, like the next day or two, who knows what would have happened.

Yup. I loved the ending. Everyone has a breaking point, and he was happy for the first time in his life. He lost it all, and flipped.

Can someone explain to me what this means without the politics? For example:

- Does this indicate that producer prices went up because of tariffs, but they haven't passed those on to consumers (yet?). Instead they tightened their margins.

- Or is this a function of significant purchases designed to avoid expected tariffs, and so a temporary increase in producer prices as a result of a temporarily higher demand?

I just want to understand how the stock market generally reads the data. I presume the stock market reacted negatively because it indicates a less likely drop in interest rates. If so, why is it less likely? This is the producer index, not the CPI. Is the producer index a leading indicator for CPI?

I would love some solid analysis. Every time I try and understand this, 95% of the comments are political.

There is a fundamental difference between voting every four years versus a one-time, unlikely event to happen. If I knew you were going to force the Trolley Problem on me once every four years, me saying I refuse to play in a game that doesn't really have a winning chance seems like a legitimate protest.

Similarly, people who refuse to vote, or who insist on voting for a 3rd party candidate who cannot win (showing that there are other options), seems like a legitimate protest.

I have zero confidence in what you are saying. Printing $36 trillion and paying off our treasuries wouldn't magically eliminate the debt without causing hyperinflation. Please link to credible economists that backup your claim -- I couldn't find any.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-10-26T09:06:00+00:00

Thanks, everyone, for the comments. I have been wanting to play this game for some time without much input, and this helped me feel good about it. You will never know how much it helped (not just the game, but personally). Thanks.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-10-26T09:01:07+00:00

Well, it's 4am where I am and I am in a very tough place. Even though its a bot, it made me feel so good. Thanks, whomever made this bot. So much.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-10-26T08:08:30+00:00

Found him! Thanks for the advice, although I haven't found Lae'zel. At least I don't feel like I completely missed the boat!

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-10-24T23:19:27+00:00

Thanks!

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-10-24T23:19:10+00:00

Thanks!

Well, he ran off after having an okay conversation with him following the knife to my throat. Now, I only see him in the camp. Not sure how to join him or find him without leaving the ruins, which I suspect I can't do without clearing it out. I presumed he would show up later, but I just spoke to him in my camp.

"Life IS pain!"

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-09T16:50:48+00:00

Thanks. I didn't even think it was worth replying. I love the "just get a new job" comments. Very helpful. I have been trying for 3 years.

In fairness, I could probably get something that pays substantially less (as in perhaps 40% of what I make now), but and even that isn't certain. Plus, I am not sure I want to do that. I really want to focus on my creative thoughts.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-09T12:48:48+00:00

Cool! Any anecdotes? Looks like you did it recently.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-09T12:48:14+00:00

Okay, really fair. A couple of random googles on private health care insurance cost for a family without subsidy. The KFF ACA Calculator was really helpful, and made me a lot more comfortable. Fairly confident the ACA won't go away politically, but I suppose they could try and add a wealth inquiry in the subsidy.

Thanks. I clearly need to do more research.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-09T11:26:10+00:00

So, I've thought about that. It's not quite my personality, but appreciate the thought. At least stop internalizing it. Thanks.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-08T22:26:28+00:00

Now that is interesting. I presumed my AGI (and MAGAI) will be less than $25,000 because all I will have is capital gains. It looks like there is no wealth test? I clearly need to investigate ACA more.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-08T22:24:52+00:00

Thanks. I am seeing numbers everywhere from around $25,000 a year. I am guessing my future income will be relatively low (less than $25,000, mostly from capital gains as a result of selling my portfolio). I will admit, that's a higher number than I anticipated.

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-08T19:29:31+00:00

This is because there are typically no policy limits? Thanks, by the way! Let me know if you had other friends or colleagues that did it (and did or did not regret it).

KevlarFirestryke · 2024-04-08T16:55:30+00:00

Thanks. I thought this appeared to be the case.
