One last comment on the subject of ethics. I was thinking about why full disclosure isn't enough, and realized that one's financial interests could affect decisions about where to place a story and whether to write it at all, as well as the slant of the story itself. (Particularly for higher-level, mostly self-managed editors like myself.)

And, obviously, if the story doesn't appear or is buried so deep that no one can find it, then there's no opportunity for readers to learn that the (non)writer holds the company's stock.

These values are awfully tempting, though. Anyone got a favorite beaten-to-within-an-inch-of-its-life sector other than semiconductors?
