Two guys I trust to play by the rules, Ken Griffin and Steve Cohen.
Hoo boy.
I’m sure they cheat, but this type of blatant front running is pretty easy to detect and would be very stupid to do.

usually you sell when it hits the news, but some of these have inexplicably held on since.

Isn’t there some option where you can sell your company’s stock after holding it for a few years?

Of course. Once it is granted, you can do whatever you want with the stock*. Worth noting that you do have to pay capital gains tax on the appreciation of said stock on vesting date to the selling date.
*If you’re still with the company, you can only sell during certain trade windows per SEC regulations
but nba topshot is dumb…

Companies also encourage this by making company stock the only one you can buy individually in your 401k. I want to say when I worked for Quest Diagnostics there was some kind of discount “stock purchase program”. Is that a thing that exists?
I think there’s an argument to be made when you’re on the inside and can tell the overall vibe of whether you’re working for a crooked company or not. Like Buffet talking to the secretary. I don’t see any harm in holding like 10% of your portfolio in company stonk.
I held a little Quest stock, just like I do now, because it seemed like a well-run company and was the best performing stock in 2001 I think when the market was tanking. Maybe 2000. So I thought of it as a bit of a hedge to another crash (this was 2001-2005).
I owned some DTV stock because I liked them as a company as well. I did not own any AT&T stock because fuck them.
GME 122
Probably 125 by the time anyone reads this
I was holding my vested rsus because I was gambling that my company’s stock would go up, just like everyone who buys individual stocks do as well, so not really seeing the problem, and yeah I am very, very lazy. I sold it now though and I guess will dump into VTSAX or the mortgage.
Is gme issuing new shares to raise money yet? It seems like the most obvious move ever.
tesla at least has the potential of dominating the future electric car market is the difference
even if gamestop moved to digital codes for games that could get pulled by the console makers at any time
