Re: Ethics Questions Raised About Ex-eBay Exec Who's Running for California Governor
This older article has some more information about Westly's stock trading.
Quote:Securities and Exchange Commission regulations ban laddering as a form of investment fraud. Quote:Experts say 33 of state Controller Steve Westly's dot-com-era stock purchases appear to be consistent with the banned practice of laddering. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...HBH511.DTL Improper stock trading must be a requirement for eBay's top management. Meg Whitman, Pierre Omidyar, and Jeff Skoll settled a $3 million suit over improper IPO trading. |

Re: Ethics Questions Raised About Ex-eBay Exec Who's Running for California Governor
I'm planning to sleep-in on primary day and election day this year. The Democratic candidates Westly and Angelides are a choice between bad and bad, and I woudn't vote to re-elect Republican Arnie if you paid me.

Re: Ethics Questions Raised About Ex-eBay Exec Who's Running for California Gove
The primary is mañana
Quote:Phil Angelides, the state treasurer, and Steve Westly, the controller, are virtually tied in a nasty race to become the Democrat that faces Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in November. About one in four likely Democratic primary voters still can't choose between the two, according to recent polling. Private polls also are said to reflect a dead heat. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercuryne...source=rss |
