Who told him to sell out at the top? I want an investigation including everyone he met with for the 2 months preceding his sale, and a transcript of the conversations.

For George HW Bush to turn his $80,000 fee into a $14.4 million dollar bundle, what price did he snag the stock?

Anyone who looks up the stock history and does the arithmetic can figure out he lied about buying it "on the open market". He's not the great investor he claims to be, he's just a political insider who was offered a lucrative opportunity as a quid pro quo

It is going to take a really sharp cookie to uncover this little scandal and all of it's implications. I haven't wished for anything more on the first star I see in the night sky.

I hate to play devils advocate when you are doing such a fine job in beating a moronic stance taken by a fool to a complete pulp.. but...

Did he say that the money he made was on plain 'ol shares?? Could he have made some sort of leveraged position with that 100K to make the $18Mil (woof... that's a lot of pinball games right there)?
