Insider Trading
By Walter Burien

Well, Folks...
 
Martha was found guilty of insider trading for acting on negative information that her broker gave her as a heads up on a stock she was holding before the public knew about it. The money made by her for acting on this information was a few thousand dollars.
 
So, I guess Insider Trading is an issue!
 
Let's see here, two other potential examples of insider trading and what they would yield, I will give below. I will start with a normal example of which there are many, and the second example will be the biggest example of insider trading that I have ever seen.
 
THE TWO EXAMPLES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
 
EXAMPLE # 1.
 
Years ago, the Soviet Union had destabilized and Gorbachev now was willing to follow the American way of democracy. That year Russia's grain crop had failed and shortages abound. The Senate introduces a bill which if approved would provide Russia with 30 billion dollars to help them out on their transition. The bill would be voted on in five days after introduction. I note that in the USA, grain prices were at their lowest prices in years do to a bumper crop. So, an obvious deduction would be, if the 30 billion was approved, Russia would use a substantial portion of that money to buy grain from the USA which would skyrocket grain prices from contract lows through contract highs in a matter of days.
 
Hmmm, knowing if this bill would be approved would sure be a great insider trading knowledge. To qualify this, wheat on the futures market was at $2.65 a bushel. Short term contract highs were about $3.15 a bushel, and contract highs over the long term of a year or two was $5.35 a bushel. On a wheat futures contract [5000 bushels], the margin to hold a contract was $1000. Each penny move was equal to $50 and a $1 move was equal to $5000. If the Senate approved this 30 billion dollar assist to Russia, the grain bought by Russia with this money would push wheat, in so many words, overnight to break the $5.35 a bushel price, or a profit on one (1) wheat futures contract bought at $2.65 a bushel and then sold at say $5.65 a bushel of $15,000 on $1000 used. Now if call options were bought [out of the money at $3.20] when wheat was at $2.65, they would be dirt cheap about $28 to $30 per option on one (1) contract. When, and if wheat broke your $3.20 strike price, the option would now equal the same value of money gained as a futures contract, so on the option, from $3.20 liquidated at $5.65 a bushel would yield $12,250 on $30 used.
 
So let's see; On $100,000 completely used with future contracts or with call options, within the specifications of the example above, the yield would be $1,500,000.00 with futures and with call options $41,662,500.00 Additionally, I will note that soybeans would respond the same with wheat...
 
So what happened?????
 
Five days after introduction, they approved the 30 billion dollars to Russia and Russia immediately bought 8 billion dollars of grains from the USA. Grain prices went from contract lows through contract highs in about 3 to 5 weeks.
 
Now, I myself, being familiar with futures and options as a prior CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor), when I heard the proposition on the news that they were going to vote on the 30 billion for Russia, knew in most probabilities it would be immediately approved and I knew that if approved, Russia would buy large quantities of US Grain, so I that day bought a few call options and made a killing on those call options.
 
Was I guilty of inside trading? No, I was not. I acted on information when it became public.
 
Who would be guilty of inside trading on this scenario? Well, let's say if a group of Senators and other government officials, along with their business associates, discussed the 30 billion, agreed to agree on its approval before it was made public, and then took positions in the futures and options, before or at the time they announced the proposed 30 billion dollar payment to Russia, they most definitely would be guilty of insider trading.
 
Do I think many from within government did this along with their cronies that they advised to do the same? Yes, I do. Any indictments? No, none.
 
Are the records still available to spot who in most probabilities was inside trading? Yes, they are.
 
Bill and Hillary maybe? The Bush family maybe? Dick Chaney's Corporate interests maybe? Would be interesting to find out don't you think?
 
 
 
EXAMPLE # 2.
 
The biggest example of insider trading that ever took place ever occurred on the date of September 11th 2001 and the effects of which continue until today. Those that agreed to agree in advance of that date and acted within the broad spectrum of the international markets, yielded trillions of dollars and as an added perk, accomplished the lock-down control of the United States as well as a leap forward towards the financial, political, social, and forceful conquest of the rest of the world.
 
Are the records of the international transactions still available? Yes, they are.
 
Will they be made public? I will let you answer that one.
 
Have a good day!
 
Yours Truly,

PS: I wonder who Martha was helping or what liability she was exposing to make her a target for such a small infraction of insider trading, or has this Martha event been just a show to entertain the public? But then why would they want to entertain the public? What could they ever accomplish by doing that? Maybe conquest of the planet? Who knows?
