MDRM

When a public stock Company is being sold or merged or otherwise acquired -- it is illegal, 100% ILLEGAL -- for insiders with knowledge of that pending "action" -- to trade the stock at all.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN ANY INSIDER, WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PENDING TRANSACTION, TRADE THE STOCK.

Me included ? LOL

So, people who have the most interest in buying MDRM, and gaining a very large profit for the buy, cannot trade MDRM. Not yet. Not until the deal is announced to the public at large. AND, NOT UNTIL THE DEAL IS COMPLETED !

SOMETHING HOT IS TRANSACTING , even as you read this.

ALL I.M.O.

Reading between the lines is fun, and can be quite profitable, as well.

Hey !

Insiders usually do no trades in month 1 and month 3 of a quarter for the following reasons. (This leaves insiders just 4 months per year.) During month 1, no trades are permitted until the quarterly report appears, plus a few days for market to digest the results. Theoretically, by the beginning of month 3 you know how the quarter will be. This may be actually true in some businesses, but not others. In some parts of the computer business, an awful lot of business is booked during month 3, and shipped in the last 2 weeks, so people quite often have no idea at this time whether they'll make the numbers or not. This is especially true for high-end machines (like supercomputers, where pure-supercomputer companies have occasionally had crazed fluctuations because some $20M machine got held up a week). Right now, the government shutdown and its effects on buying and export licenses is a bit strange. Similar weirdnesses go on, for example, in some retail businesses, where the Christmas season is crucial.

Insiders should avoid trades when in possession of material information that might affect the stock, and is not yet public, at least partly because it might or might not happen. For instance, somebody might be negotiating a merger or some really major sale, and the lawyers will tell you that you shouldn't trade then, to avoid lawsuits. This may knock out some of the 4 months, and may be difficult to predict a year in advance; that is, it is personally dangerous to say: "I expect to sell stock 9 months from now." Don't count on it.
