COMS buyout-blatant frontrunning

[Clubber Lang]

COMS traded 4.1 million shares in the final minute of trading today just before getting halted for the buyout.

To put that in perspective, COMS averages only 5.4 million shares traded in an entire day!

I'm sure the SEC will be right on it. LMAO.

Suspicious trading before HP's $2.7 billion 3Com bid; SEC closed for holiday

3Com options activity jumped to 17 times the normal level. The largest transaction was apparently an order of 1,900 November call options that took place around noon EST on the Chicago Board Options Exchange

Denninger thought it was humorous too. It is a joke alright...

Looks like the recent perp-walks and arrests for insider trading are really having an effect!

Well if the SEC cared to the could just break all those trades made in the last minute.
