That's all true, I would think that the heavily armed event would immediately disqualify all trades during that time. That is, if people understood that they were conducting the trades in the first place. That is the weak point of the plot but like I said, it only had to work long enough for the takeover to happen. It wasn't like the plan was to takeover the company for years to come, just a few days to move forward with the plan to get access to the reactor. I think it's unlikely but plausible. But hey, it's a movie. But for the Bruce part, that's easy because part of the Bruce persona is basically a dumb playboy that's rich despite himself. He has people who take care of him and if he does something on his own then it often results in something bad. Remember that he supposedly burned down his own house during a drunken rage at his birthday party after kicking everybody out.
