Interesting...or not...FBI Investigating Options Trades

[PaceAdvantage]

Somebody made a fortune trading on Heinz options...trades made right before the takeover announcement...so much so the FBI is investigating AND a Zurich, Switzerland account has already been frozen.

I hearken back to 9/11 and all the suspicious options trades made in airline stocks just prior to that tragic day...I don't remember any accounts being frozen...or much if any investigation...

But Ketchup...the feds are all over it in a heartbeat...

Interesting....or not?

Well, I guess I was wrong...apparently, there was quite the investigation...but everything turned out to be one giant coincidence, with no foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks...yup...

Insider trading happens all the time. Why do technicals lead fundamentals? Word gets out, or an insider exploits it. Anyone who thinks its all about the 4 days a year a company reports earnings is very naïve.
