Be serious. You gonna buy a brand new M2 MacBook for $3000? I think they've pushed things as far as things can go, over there at AAPL. You gonna buy the latest iPhone with five cameras on the back, for $1600? No, I didn't think so.

Exactly. You could use mosaic theory which is essentially you piecing it all together yourself, but the second you have confirmed information that isn’t available to the public, you’re breaking the law. If this is real, he’s fucked. I used to be an investor relations consultant. I was in a group that was told about merger efforts months before it happened and I wrote the press release. Obviously the stock skyrocketed. Five months later, the SEC reached out to our client for the names and addresses of everyone who had prior knowledge. Obviously no one on my team acted on this info so it was no big deal, but if I had done what OP did, I would have been fucked. It’s hilarious people think just because OP isn’t an employee directly that insider trading isn’t a crime or that no one will catch them.

Anyone else notice all these fake violinists pop up everywhere at shopping plazas? They are playing the violin with a soundtrack in the back. You watch them for five minutes and can see they are faking it lol

Woooah. Easy there, Captain. You still have five months to give it all back. You might not have this problem in December. BTW - Any realized gain, whether via a trade or dividend, is subject to taxation. Let me introduce you to the Wash Sale Rule...

Of course, everyone is deranged here. But he is correct. The definition of vaccine was different five years ago.
