What else could be done? lock up employees at work for a week while the market adjusts?
An email to everyone, a press release, a blog post stating this new feature will be available to everyone in x days at time T. That would be fair game.
- cevn 9y agoOK, so what about the planning period where you talk to your engineers and ask if they can implement it? Or does the CEO just shoot off the email without consulting anyone? The price would shoot up as soon as that email was sent out, so if anyone was consulted about it then they could insider trade.
- CaptainZapp 9y agoNo, it wouldn't. At least then not when that email contains information, which is market relevant in any form. It would only then be fair game if that email goes out at the same time as when the information is publicly available. I'm not talking about a new iPhone here. But information, which moves the market. For example: A planned merger to which very few people are really privy.
