<Who are you kidding? You've obviously never been close to a pending deal. There are lots of ways to get around these insider trading rules, and it happens everyday. <

In fact, I have been there and seen the process. Someone had posted that you would know when a deal was set because you would see the "insiders buying". What I said was that you would not see "insiders" buying. What I was referring to was insiders making reported buys, after they have info on negotiations or a deal. Its only the reported buys that would be visible and those are the ones I was talking about. Obviously, the word gets out about a deal and it results in buying on inside information. But, almost never by actual company insiders who have to report these purchases. Generally, the SEC doesn't worry about a thousand shares here or there. Or a few options here or there. However, serious buying of major amounts of stock or options does result in investigations.
