Lets just say I knew this guy who just told me over a beer that the company he is an executive of is about to acquire another company, information not yet released to the public, and acting on that secret information, I quickly purchases hundreds of shares then, when announced, sold for a huge profit?
A. How would they know to pick me out of the thousands of trades in the days leading up to it as the one that involved inside information?
B. Couldn’t I always claim that I didn’t know of the acquisition at the time of the trade? I mean, if all the evidence they have is knowing a guy from the company, that hardly proves I did something corrupt.
Hypothetically of course
A. Your account is profiled when you open it. If you had no trades leading up to this and suddenly purchased 10,000 shares of the target company right before deal was announced your trading data would be sent to the SEC.
B. The guy likely told more than you about the deal and a ‘cluster’ of trades might be seen forming an abnormal pattern that would be of interest to an SEC analyst.
Depending upon how you know this friend obviously it would be easy to link you. Posting on public forums like this is a start. Your IP address is captured and you can be easily identified.
Hypothetically…. Don’t do it.

In an article on apparel prices published on May 19, 2010, the Wall Street Journal noted, “Intimate-apparel maker Maidenform Brands Inc. says it is seeing rising fuel costs that affect not only what it spends on transportation, but also the price of the petroleum-based synthetic materials that it uses for many of its products. ‘The reality is that there will be some price increases,’ Chief Executive Maurice Reznik said in an interview.”
How do I draw the diagram for this particular situation?
The only change here is the cost of production (both things affect cost). Draw a normal demand curve and supply curve, and then show a decrease in supply (from increased cost). A decrease in supply shifts the supply curve to the left. Show the curve moving to the left
me and my family are the Lopezs’ and we’re planning on pitching a reality show idea to a few network executives. I’m NOT asking for ur opinion on whether or not we’re stupid or if we deserve a reality show or not.
I’m ONLY asking on ur opinion if the reality show NAME is good, we’re thinking of calling it, "The Lopez Life" or "The Lopez Family"
They’re simple, i know. but are they good? Any ideas?
People may think that it involves george or jennifer. Maybe like ‘the other Lopezs’ sounds silly I wouldn’t go for my own idea. Don’t let them think george or jenn though
The Mexican flag is back on the streets of Los Angeles after several years of political exile.
Four years ago, Miguel Haro was among half a million people who marched for immigrant rights in downtown L.A. At the urging of organizers and Spanish-language disc jockeys, he left his Mexican flag at home and waved an American flag instead.
Concerned that the Mexican flag carried the wrong message, Mexican American political leaders and other activists launched a largely successful effort to have people at public events, particularly protest marches, wave the American flag, believing it to be a better symbol for their case.
But with the World Cup in full swing, Haro proudly has affixed his Mexican flag to his Toyota RAV4 and cheered for the team of his parents. The American flag is fine for politics, he said, but this is soccer.My allegiance is to America, no doubt about it, and I’d think I wouldn’t have to prove it," said Haro, a 25-year-old utility worker. "But when I wave the Mexican flag for soccer, it’s strictly cultural. It’s showing I’m proud of my Mexican background."
After years of being downplayed at large political rallies that regularly punctuated the L.A. landscape, the World Cup has given the Mexican flag some of its big event presence back.
The red, white and green banners hang from cars on the freeway, wave inside countless bars and eateries during games and are even held proudly by cyclists riding through downtown L.A.
With the Mexican team having survived preliminary rounds and scheduled to play Sunday against Argentina in the Round of 16, fan loyalty — and flags — are likely to be at a highly visible peak.
To some, it is a disconcerting image.
In Southern California’s huge immigrant communities, home-nation flags are ubiquitous.
During the World Cup, sales have been brisk for South Korean flags as well as countries with big soccer followings such as Brazil, England and Spain. Displays of those banners are largely noncontroversial.
But the Mexican flag is different. The American political debate over immigration — illegal immigration in particular — is largely a debate over Mexicans. And few symbols in that debate have carried as much political weight as the Mexican flag.
The presence of Mexican flags at protests and marches over the last decade became flashpoints, with critics saying the displays suggested that immigrants felt loyalty to Mexico rather than the United States.
"Anytime a flag gets caught up in national politics, it becomes a potent symbol," said Jaime Regalado, a political science professor at Cal State L.A.
But the widespread display of the flag at soccer matches — and the relative lack of controversy surrounding it so far — suggest that the symbolism is less inflammatory when put in the context of sports, not politics.
One indication of that changed reality is that some advertisers are now getting into the act.
In a Volkswagen commercial, a parade of fans, including American and Mexican soccer fans, march loudly down separate streets while hoisting their nation’s flags, only to meet in the middle, where they face off tensely. Then, after a moment, they happily exchange their national team jerseys.
Reality may not be quite that cheerful, but David Carter, executive director of the USC Sports Institute, said sports fans "regardless of their background and ethnicity tend to compartmentalize sports and other, everyday activities."
"Showing your heritage during a sports event," he added, "is very different than showing your heritage in a controversial way during a political demonstration."
These days, the flag is also big business.

I understand that these turds are products of their environment. They are raised to believe that their culture is great and that their country is best. (We all know that their culture is backwards and that their third world country sucks!) So to me it’s not shocking that they are waving their Mexican flags everywhere. What can I really say, they’re all a bunch of idiots. If they love Mexico so much then I guess it’s time to pack their bags and get a burrito to go and head down to Mexico.

The Yoo Doctrine or Unitary Executive theory, are controversial since it is suggested the theory holds that the President’s war powers place him above any law.
Comments from debate where Yoo defends position of president torturing children.
Cassel: If the President deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?
Yoo: No treaty.
Cassel: Also no law by Congress. That is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo.
Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.
Here is a link, on this page you can listen to the entire debate in mp3 format to all the doubters who will deny the reality of the above comments.

If you caught a guy in your house that knew where the bomb was that was going to blow up your child’s school in 10 minutes, would you ask him politely if he would mind telling you where it was?
