Culberson is in a purple district and is vulnerable. Donate to Lizzie Fletcher if possible.

...it's when they sold it (and how they came to that decision).

IIRC, Collins is charged with insider trading on the sell side. Clinical trial failed, stock was going to tank so he got his family out before the public announcement, thus avoiding about

If these guys owned it and held it through the post announcement loss - their loss but nothing illegal here.

Would love to see all these asshats on the street with tin cups begging for quarters but...no sense getting riled up over every little thing.

NOW...if in fact they sold in advance of the news...they better have a damn good reason (like by blind trust advisor did it without my knowledge) or it's time to hang'em'high.
