Bess -
An outstanding day on your part. See what happens when you don't have a human anchor around your neck? That would be Greg. That douche.
Fondly,

I hate to say this guys but I really would like to see Micheal Moore's version of cops where wall street perps are taken down like the scum they are.

To all DB readers.
Please to understand that myself, and our fund, has come under very serious attack, in fact, I find myself in jail.

To my trusted investors I can assure you, according to the laws of Sri Lanka, insider trading is not a crime. It is simply the right to perfect information. I will fight, on your behalf, for what I see as a terrible injustice.

Raj

Bernie keeps looking at me in a strange way. I keep telling him I am sore from last night.

Excellent Work today Dealbreaker! Bess Levin and Teri Buhl nailed it on the Galleon coverage. Loved the rap song and photo of the lady from New Castle.

Before you start jerking Greg off and finger Bess - they didn't break any story or uncover anything. They cut and pasted from other peoples' webpages.

Copy, past, send.

@19 Wrong. Plenty of stories have been broken by Dealbreaker.

@17 interesting. you seem to have a disdain for greg, believe bess doesn't do any "actual" work. and yet you've been here for a while ("best day in a long time")...why?

Posted by guest , Oct 16, 2009 11:00PM

PWNED.

Posted by guest , Oct 16, 2009 11:24PM

Bess and good bloggers are supposed to cut and paste and add commentary. They're aggregating and editing and serving it on a plate, sometimes with a bent. Bess can be pretty bent, which is why I read her. Bess also cultivates friends/sources so she breaks some stories. This is what a journalist does. Fact is, investigative journalism is largely being replaced by straight reportage of leaks. Then Teri Buhl's posts get shit on, but who else is digging into that pile?

Why don't reporters and their sources don’t get in trouble when they publish a story that contains material non-public information? For instance, the Journal reported last week that Brocade Communications, had put itself up for sale and the stock subsequently moved up significantly. This story was based on “sources familiar with the matter." How is this different from Raj’s and his sources involved in the restructuring at AMD? End game for both is/was to make money - Raj to trade and for Journal to drive viewership.

@30 um? Really? Is this rhetorical?

1) Trading on material, non-public information may be illegal, but reporting it is not.

2) Pretty much by definition, if some information appears in the WSJ it is now public.

3) Amendment I generally inhibits prosecuting the press for publishing factual information.

Posted by guest , Oct 18, 2009 12:50PM

Insider trading should be completely legal. I see this whole thing a big waste of money. If any company wants to go public, then the company itself should build their own credit for not hiding the critical information to the investors, not SEC or any other government regulatory. If any one want to play this stock game, he/she should be fully aware that it is his/her responsibility to collect the information, not matter material or non-material. Why can't people trade the stock of their own company? It will make market more efficient and facilitate the management to make the better decision for company's operation instead of screwing up other investors.

Insider trading just gives people a false hope that the whole game is "fair", which is not whatsoever. Plus it has so many grey area and so hard to enforce it. I can't see any justified reason for this stupid law.

Guest@#37...

"If any one want to play this stock game, he/she should be fully aware that it is his/her responsibility to collect the information, not matter material or non-material."

"go public" means publically held, which means owned by the public, which in turn means owned by many entities, including pension funds, mom & pop, Main Street, insiders, outsiders, et. al.

As TGFD sees it, insider-trading laws are there to offer some type of protection to all the outsiders from all the insiders. Too bad the protection is so weak.

It seems that you would choose to remove the protection, however feeble it may be.

I checked from the Penn alum directory:

Raj Rajanatram
Anil Kumar
Rajiv Goel

are all 1983 MBAs.
Have to admit, the amount of professional success these guys had (director at McKinsey, MD at Intel Capital and of course Raj Raj) is pretty incredible from a random sample of b-school buds.
