It's called trading on inside information when your CEO is the brand new Secretary of Treasury. Even if it's legal it stinks and you know it. Alcoa stole consumers money with the rest of the Texas pirates. In collusion with. They're all buddies in the middle of a gouging party. Let all their heads fall. Either they pay us back or it's payback time at the voting booths and in the courts. Quit defending the thieves. They don't deserve your support or anyone else's.
