Desert_Dweller -- I believe your short-term cap gains v. long-term cap gains point re HG (and other IDCC insiders) is nothing but a straw dog, a red herring

specifically re HG: as clearly disclosed on the Form 4, these newly-acquired options shares are NOT his only shares -- he can sell OTHER shares that he HAS ALREADY held for more than 1 year, can he not? -- i.e., like any other shareholder, he can sell using the SPECIFIC LOTS method, and for that matter even the default FIFO method would also first sell from his long-term cap gains shares, right?

if you're not making the obviously incorrect assumption that these 15,000 shares HG just acquired are his only shares, then you are postulating that he can sell ONLY using a LIFO method -- what possible authority could you have for that?
