What if: The employer has subsidiaries that are doing the real trading? Details can be hammered out. And that is a good point. Compliance might have to be better defined as part of a negotiable term. The parent company, of the employer, is doing the real trading? Same thing. . only upside down. Overseas companies involved in the real trading? That would probably be a loophole. . . but then overseas trading has been a loophole on most every SEC regulation there is. Personally, I would like to see more U.S. stocks trade elsewhere as ADRs. . . and overseas trading on U.S. trading floors halted for good. . . . which would put an end to most naked shorting. But then I am for radical reform. . . which is why I would probably make a lousy politician. I tend not to bend and cannot be bought. The simple solution starts to get more complex. . . The form is simple. The solution is certainly complex. Critics thought that Regulation FD would result in extraordinary volatility or a shutting down of communications entirely. They were wrong. Volatility has been similar. . . . but stocks don't trade as many shares AHEAD of big news as they once did. . . .Boo hoo!! And if anything, we are getting a more STEADY STREAM of news by companies wishing to keep up with disclosure requirements. . . perhaps even over-disclosing. Thanks, Joe. Rande Is
