Should I suggest a new strategy to r/wallstreetbets?
The CEO sold all of his stocks shortly before being shot. The company was also being investigated for antitrust by the DoJ.
I'll be so disappointed if this was some intra-corporate bullshit.
I will be disappointed but also
for the new age of cyberpunk corpo assassinations we're entering.I don't really believe this was actually a corpo assassin. Medical Insurance is too much of a cushy no-competition, no-consequences industry for anyone to have hitman connections. DoD contractors on the other hand...
I agree, I don't think so either. The only person with real motive might be his wife. But the most likely is someone with a grudge.

Sounds like someone was afraid of him revealing certain information.
Word on the street is United and Caremark will both be broken up soon
Do not short Caremark and you didn't hear this from me
If I short a corporation's stock and they get broken up via antitrust before I'm forced to buy the stocks back what happens?
Shit, the shareholders might want to think about making this a regular thing.
some kind of fucked up bizarro version of the Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas where every corporation's prosperity is ensured by the regular sacrifice of its CEOs
If this keeps happening like this, then there might be lobbyists trying to legalize CEO assassination.
its a company that profiteers off of human suffering so i think killing the ceo to make more money just makes sense
goodness, no, that sounds like it could constitute insider trading, and that would be illegal!
I don't think there's legal precedence to suggest that's insider trading.
CEOs are so important that even the markets believe the company will do better without one...
