Joe Let me try to understand. You think that participating in insider trading where you sell a stock in an anticipation of a plunge in the price, prompting an SEC investigation, is the same legally as taking stock options approved by a company's board of directors. With a selective reading of history as a standard used by your source, Mother Jones, Sanders would probably have 10s of instances like this, since he sells stock all the time and prior to last 12 months, there was one bad news after another, causing stock to plunge, and rise again. You are getting sloppy. My source was not Mother Jones but rather US News and World Report.... although you probably consider that a marginal source as well. Let's be clear, I am not suggesting anything improper was done by Sanders, I am just applying your standard to Jerry. My standard? Its the SEC's standard, not mine. And to respond to your comment, if Sanders was doing the same thing, why isn't he being investigated by the SEC. Oh, I know, I know....the SEC is a part of the liberal media plot to screw G. Bush. Sorry...I forgot that its never Bush's fault. ted
