If you live in the U.S. and find this offensive, then perhaps you would like living in China better. No freedom of expression or thought tolerated there. Or perhaps the Middle East, where cartoon creation can get you killed. Or maybe even Germany, where its illegal to say the Holocaust never...

Settlement ain't gonna happen. Also, just remember, discovery is a two-way street. PB and OSTK are going to be opened up like cheap cans of tuna. All the artful dodging PB has done in the past isn't going to work this time. Don't expect this case to go anywhere for years.

Boob O'Brien needs to get his facts straight. First, Martha Stewart was found guilty of providing false testimony, not insider trading. Secondly, being served with an SEC subpoena is NOT equivalent to being investigated by the SEC. I would like to see a document from the SEC saying TSCM is...

Bre-X? Man, I am painfully aware of that disaster. Worst loss I ever took.

I don't know about the subpoena toss, but the Overstock chair toss was hilarious.

Hmm, I perused the Biovail complaint, but didn't see any affidavits. What page are they on? BTW, its subpoena, not supoena.

After John Travolta, in Pulp Fiction, crashes his Chevelle into his drug dealer's house, the drug dealer comes out screaming "Have you lost your fucking mind?" I have a .wav file of that that years ago, as a joke, I used to use as a sound whenever I executed a trade. Of course, the answer...

Aw shucks! :p

I've done about 15 trades so far. No problem. :D

My 20+ years of practicing law tells me both of these cases are losers for the Plaintiffs. That damn, pesky, First Amendment keeps getting in the way. Unless, what was published was untrue.

Yep, me too. I like the people at Transact, as well as the platform, and have no desire to go through the process to switch and get acquainted and comfortable with another platform. Unless circumstances force me.

A guy in my neighborhood bought it for $150K. http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/989060221.html?MAC=45b89a2e7500f1b616b5db6218e6ccc2&did=989060221&FMT=FT&FMTS=FT&date=Feb+17%2C+2006&author=JAMES+THORNER&pub=&printformat=&desc=Charitably%2C+Dunedin+man+buys+Fed+chief+art

On that point, I completely agree. If there is a loophole, close it. If there is illegal activity going on, sue 'em or prosecute 'em, or both.

No, I prefer a flat tax.

That ridiculous statement is not even worthy of a discussion.

Oh really? Who they gonna call? Their Mommas? Ever heard of due process? Where do you come up with this stuff? I don't tolerate fools lightly either.

Here's a novel concept. Trying funding it with profits. There's nothing wrong with a company that profits can't cure.

Nope, you are right. He'd rather buy 200k shares @$40 and watch it go to 4. Reminds me of the Guinness beer commercials where one of the guys comes up with a dumbass idea, and the other guy shouts "Brillant"! You know of no finer person? Then you need to get out more.
