Comment Re:Selling to diversify isn't wrong (Score 1) 96

There's nothing better than a diversified portfolio...

Having enough surplus cash to spare that diverse portfolios don't actually impact ones lifestyle is pretty good, in and of itself.

Its like getting to play roulette all day with the house's money...because you are the house.

why are insiders selling?

A few insiders collected their millions and that is all that matters.

That certainly is all that matters to those with the options.

It hilarious how "insider trading" is illegal, unless its the Chief Executives in a highly publicized massive sell-off that negatively impacts everyone that now owns stock.

Ain't capitalism great how it incentivizes unethical behaviors that look almost like inside trading, but without Martha Stewart?

In the course of 5 years 90% of the customers who's records were leaked are no longer customers?? 10% retention?

And 73 million customers? That's around 20% of the US population.

AT&T are really doing bad if all of this is true.

Absolutely. When you do the math, clearly most customers were there for the free cell phone, because it sure as hell ain't the network or customer service that's worth sticking around. That deal with Apple early on may account for the trend in those numbers, overall. That and the fact their customers die of old age.

Maybe I'm just getting soft, but usually a few paragraphs of journalism reporting on the response of a major insurance company gets me very riled up.

Not this time. There may be more to this story, but it sure looks like a major insurer did the right thing for everyone involved. Kudos.

Either put up with them bugs or pay up!

That's exactly what you buy when paying up for icloud storage...12 Gigs of "data" that can only be used to move your entire system image to yet another overpriced Apple device. But make any attempt to extract your 10 years of text messages or any other apps or files, then you need to keep buying software and storage or you lose it to their "non bug" policy you gotta pay and pay again to get your data off the walled prison garden of "paradise lost".
