The premiere is titled "Chucky Rhoades's Greatest Game"

I thought the "Hot like Kate Jackson" comment was spot-on. They really were rocking that Charlie's Angel's look."they" looked amazing with hair and makeup!
For a split second I thought the actress was actually one of those women millionaires/billionaires from the Home Shopping empire like Joy or that lady on Shark Tank. But she must be based on one of them.OMG, I'm in love with Rebecca Cantu (Nina Arianda).
There's are a lot more prominent female characters this season.
Fios had an airing on SHOHD-E at 9PM Sunday night, strange you didn't have a show airing at 9.Just this week. My wife and I sat down at 9:15 to start watching, and I noticed the red LED on the TIVO wasn't lit. Huh, that's strange. Go to "TO DO LIST" and it has the 12am airing set to record. Go to OnePass and look for "other showings" and there's no 9PM showing, just midnight. Go to Live TV and the guide, and nope, no Billions currently airing on any Showtime channel.
The time jump was at the end of the episode; "30 days later" was flashed on the bottom third at the beginning of the election scene. (My wife missed it too, I had to rewind to show it to her. Thanks TiVo!)So Chuck announced he was running for AG last week and this week the election was already complete. That was fast....and I didn't notice a similar time jump with other story lines.
I think they said it was an LNG facility on the Gulf Coast. Upper TX coast, or LA.but if the tanks that blew up are in Cushing
I too agree. Axe would never engage in insider trading.Wouldn't there be an SEC investigation on why people were dumping so many shares before the explosion? Wouldn't that be trading on inside information (that warning phone call before it hit the news/public)?
I agree about the shorting.. that would have made tons more sense. But still subject to insider trading, I think.
There is no indication that any illegal insider trading occurred. See my other post for further discussion... but the blatantly obvious insider trading, even going through burners and other trading desks, the paper trail is still going through to Axe.
Sounds like you need to ask for more training.And let me preface by saying that Antitrust and securities lawyers are constantly training me and my staff on this topic.
Wrong, and wrong.The key is trading based on information not publicly known. That's it. The SEC will easily catch trades that don't make sense even if it's a BIL and not a big hedge fund.
Your lengthy post once again proves that you are smarter than all of us combined. Everything you said is correct. Thank you for setting me straight.Sounds like you need to ask for more training.
Again, your confusion is coming from the "insider" part of illegal insider trading. There must be involvement from an insider from the company that is being illegally traded. Your example does not apply to the episode. Your example has you getting inside information about a company, so yes, that could be part of illegal insider trading. You say that you are "not affiliated with that company", but since "companies gave you extremely sensitive data", you are affiliated with that company since the company gave you inside information.
In the episode, Calloway did not have access to inside information provided by someone from a public company that Axe subsequently traded on. For about the fifth time, CALLOWAY DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHICH COMPANIES WERE INVOLVED. It is absurd to claim illegal insider trading when there is no insider at one of the public companies.
As for the companies involved in the accident, I see where your confusion is coming from. You seem to think you can magically go long or short on companies and make a profit. Unfortunately, trading is not that easy. You need to actually know which specific company is going to go up or down. Without that information, there is no point to making the play. Best thing to do is what Axe did -- sold all his positions in natural gas.
Wrong, and wrong.
The key is trading on insider information: non-public information that comes from someone at a public company that is subsequently used to trade on that company.
You continue to make the absurd claim that any information not publicly known cannot be traded on legally. That is not the way US insider trading laws are written. Both because it would be ridiculous to tell people that they cannot trade on something non-public that they learned without any violation of duty of trust from someone at a public company that is being traded on, and because it would be impossible to enforce.
Here is an example where it is legal to trade on non-public information. You are in a restaurant and hear the CEO of Company A at the next table tell the CFO that the company's profits will be higher than expected and then buy the stock. That is not an illegal trade, assuming you have no other affiliation with the company and did not provide some benefit to the CEO. (The CEO may be guilty of failing in his fiduciary duty by speaking non-public information in a public place, but the person who heard is not guilty).
An example where it would be illegal is if the tipster is a "constructive insider", which could be a lawyer for the company or an investment banker working with the company, people who receive confidential information from the company while providing services to the company. This would probably apply to the example of yourself you gave in your post.
We don't know that for sure. Everyone knows Axe's M.O... it won't be hard for the kid to recover if he's good enough to build up a $1b BOB.We're talking about AUM, not P&L (although, as he needs to sell positions to meet redemptions, losses are inevitable).
When 2/3 of your clients redeem in a few hours, the remaining 1/3 (except for F&F) will be out within a week.
