    Hexbear seems a little passive, they could be a little more aggressive in their interactions. Also they don’t include enough random spam and shit posting when they find a thread they want to interact with. What’s really sad though is that they only tend to engage with one or two representatives instead of sending every user on their server into the thread.



  • Generally C-level employees and officers are prohibited from selling for several months after an IPO. The restriction is common for a couple of reasons. First is it protects initial investors from added risk of the sale by the people running the company being perceived as a red flag causing a significant drop in the stock price. Second it protects the C-level employees and officers from the appearance of insider trading.

    The SEC has rules in place on how high level management can trade in the stocks for their own companies to make it difficult for them to trade on non-public information. A large stock sale shortly after a significant event like an IPO can trigger an investigation. To sale the shares legally before a 90 day cool down had passed they would have needed to file a notice of the sale with the SEC and provided justification for not observing the cool down period.



  • You are comparing apples to apples but I think there is an issue of scale. It’s like the apples that are produced by the tree out back (Cuba) vs the apples that are produced by the little stand the vineyard keeps for their fall cider (US). I don’t have a lot of fruit trees out back so the couple basket fulls that apple tree produces is a huge portion of my fruit production but the vineyard’s couple ton of apples is only a small portion of their fruit production.

    For rice, the largest rice crop Cuba has ever produced in a single season is estimated to be 465k tons in 03/04. The US produced 11m tons and exported 3m tons of rice last year.

    Edit: overstated US rice production do to not noticing a unit difference.
