Insider Trading (or the lack there of)

In a prior post,  I bemoaned the lack of insider buying by Clay and other big wigs.     Now I’m taking a very difference stance.     I read an interesting article about the “Rumor-Validity” test.   To paraphrase:  “There is very compelling evidence that insiders who know their firm is a friendly takeover target are VERY unlikely to trade in their own securities for a variety of legal and ethical reasons”.       Consider the facts.     Shell has begun a very cozy relationship with MGM and ALL insider buying and selling has ceased.    Coincidence or not??

BUt if you look closely 99.9% relates to the rights offering....nothing else.    The only other transaction of note is that Clay might have transferred shares to his charitable foundation.     My hypothesis still stands but we won't know for sure till the spring.    Exciting times ahead for MGM
