1 & 2 are valid reasons for him to have met with Nixon in person.
Re 3 - "it isn't insider trading"; true, but it is insider information, what has not been made public.
Shareholders do have one option to 'trade,' namely, to liquidate for nothing, and put their shares into the hands of their broker. 'Bad news' may shake some shareholders into liquidating, although maybe doing so early in the year isn't the best time to do so.
I'm not saying Jason has this motive, but only making a technical point.
I'd like to see Jason expand on his 'news'. Why mention so little when there is apparently more to say, unless Nixon didn't actually say anything to him at all? With so much high expectation, no news seems like bad news.
