    The stock sale in November 2020 was planned in February 2020. If there is evidence that he directed his team to announce the good news the day before the scheduled stock sale date then it is illegal as hell. Otherwise there is nothing illegal about it.

    Again, its all in the article. They cant adjust the stock selling schedule, but they can move the date of announcement as much as they want. As if these 0.001% dont know how to work around the rules.

    Its not even about illegal or not - its about optics. What the fuck is going on.

    A tearful apology is all that's needed in the end, people make mistakes and are wrong. Even if you repeat the same mistake over and over, there is no accountability anymore. Just need to cry for the cameras.

    The funny thing here is that if they HAD adjusted the date so the sale didn't happen when it did and pushed it out, you'd be complaining that he manipulated a planned sell to profit even more from vaccine rollout.

    Well, if it isn't illegal it's fine right? Like travelling out of country in a pandemic?

    The simple answer is they should have NOT sold the day after (ie. adjust the timing of the announcement).

    Not only did the dude profit at least an extra 1,000,000$ from the sale, it looks VERY questionable in terms of timing and them jumping ship from their own company during a global crisis.

    Optics aside it's perfectly legal, they are just sorry they got caught. People with/in power have been abusing it since the dawn of politics and I don't blame them. "We are all in this together" is just a term to keep the mindless herd quiet, we don't want the peasants to revolt and storm whatever building is used as parliament now.

    Pfizer stock:
    Nov 6th - 34.48$
    Nov 9th - 37.14$ (efficacy announcement)
    Nov 10th - 36.64$ (CEO sold)
    Dec 8th - 42.56$ (ATH)
    Yesterday close - 37.31$

    I get you're trying to make this a thing but if anything the CEO left a lot on the table selling the day after instead of waiting a few more weeks and reaping way more profit. If he delayed the sale then you'd be crying that he waited for the stock to rise anyways. The past 7 weeks the price has been higher than when he sold...

    Its called optics.

    Maybe the CEO of one of the biggest companies should not time the (adjustable) announcement of the vaccine, to him profiting millions the day after? It makes it look like hes running from a sinking ship and that the vaccine is BS, once the eventual truth comes out.

    Its also because they dont give a fuck - since its not illegal - and even if it was, they might pay a 10,000$ fine.


    So in summary - you have a CEO of a vaccine company that is touted to be the second coming of christ, in terms of bringing us back to 'normal'

    a) refusing to take the vaccine
    b) sold his shares the day after the announcement was made.

    What are the optics of that?

    You shouldn't make business decisions (including when to make major announcements) based on when a single executive planned stock sales. That's literally the whole point of the law.

    What if the CFO or other execs/Board members also had stock sales scheduled? Do you think every manager at Pfizer has calendar reminders on when scheduled stock sales are happening and that they should consider optics of announcing anything around stock sales? That's a great way to build a fucked up culture at your company.

    So basically, because he hasn't taken the vaccine and kept to the stock sell, the vaccine is a dud and he timed the announcement to benefit the planned sell.

    But, if he HAD taken the vaccine and pushed the stock sale by a little while, you'd be on here complaining he abused his position to get a leg up on people desperate for the vaccine and pushed the sale so he could benefit from the rollout and a higher price.

    What's the middle ground for you?
    See Crank. See Crank Walk. Walk Crank Walk.

    Absolutely not, had they gotten the vaccine early I might have been swayed more on the positive side to take the shot - and so would have millions of others. They could have easily paraded that.
