[WorldPokerWeekly]

Excuse my french but, I think y'all will find this very interesting... Look at Steve Lipscomb's take from his shares.

NASDAQ symbol: WPTE, I'm no expert but I personally think this stock is gonna skyrocket in the next year or two as they fully launch in the European market.

[Talking Poker]

Wow... must be nice.

[Aequitas58]

What's the problem - he sold stock and got good money for it? I don't know where this list is from, but if it's correct, then I don't see any SEC 10(b)(5) or 16(b) violations...

[WorldPokerWeekly]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It is nice to see that he is rewarded for making poker what it is today.

I got your attention though, thats great.

You must have a terrible poker face dude.

[Aequitas58]

You're an idiot. Welcome to the forum. It's going to be fun making you the new red-headed stepchild.

And why do we get these types of fucks to join?

[Gordogg]

Hahaha. Aeq has a new nemesis. BrianSwa is no longer at the top.

[Talking Poker]

Somehow I doubt that.

But chill anyway, Aeq... There's nothing wrong with this particular post.

WPT Insider Trading Activities... Holy ****

hmmm.... could that be where the rediculous notion came from?? I believe insider trading is still a violation that gets you a nice new anklet and a mandatory vacation in your living room.....

[Talking Poker]

You guys are confusing the perfectly legitimate action with the illegal one.

"Insiders" are allowed to trade their own stock. There is a public record of all their trades though (see above), so people canbe sure there is no funny business going on. The people on the list above are all "insiders" and those are their trades.

Typically though, when you hear about "Insider Trading," you are hearing about the people who made trades acting on information they had only because they were an insider - BEFORE it became public knowledge. That's the illegal part.

[Aequitas58]

This is probably one of the dumbest threads. LOL.

Just out of curiousity, am I one of the confused??

[Talking Poker]

Yes, I think you are.

The post was poorly titled. He wasn't trying to bust someone for illegal insider trading. All he was saying was, "Wow, look at how much this guy has made selling WPT stock!"

That's all.

[Aequitas58]

You're right ... I was confused when he inferred that there was illegal activity going on. I'm pretty sure I'm not confused when it comes to corporate security transactions w/ directors and officers, though.

[Talking Poker]

Right... but he never inferred that. You assumed he did. His "Holy ****" was a reference to the $ amounts.

[ChipFish]

Yes he did.

[Talking Poker]

What? Where? Are you people all drunk?

I officially hate this thread

[ChipFish]

By replacing Insider with Insider's in the title your version makes sense.
Otherwise, majority rules.

[Talking Poker]

I hate you.
