Bill Frist makes a stock market killing
QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) Thank you. I missed that. So we can't blame Frist for not knowing the rules. It's not his fault, the trustee did it? Well there goes one challenger to Hammer in '08. I wonder what they can dig up on McCain Just like anything, it takes two to tango. The trust company should be in pretty hot water for this. If Frist's side is true, he will have committed political suicide by most accounts, unless it doesn't stick like Hillary's insider trading.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) What information? He asked for the shares to be sold, and they were. Was there something else? Post #17 in this thread... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=888781 ...See also Baltas posts #19 and #23 in this thread.

Bill Frist makes a stock market killing
QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) And that is what Frist did. Where is the huge violation by the trust company?? I'm missing it. I didn't see any problems in the way the trust was handled. The only issue is this; did Frist receive insider information? I don't think he needed it based on public documents of the HCA insiders selling. The information they turned over to him about his trust.

Josh Rupe
QUOTE(Randar68 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) KW was technically the GM, even though Ron was behind a lot of that trade, KW was still the guy that pulled the trigger. Not like anoy of the guys we gave up have done much of anything, though. Wells is perfect in a place where they never play any important games and there's no pressure. Bring him back here, and he'd be back to his old self... Kip's numbers this year are horrible. Even with no pressure this year, he has been bad.

Bill Frist makes a stock market killing
QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 11:47 AM) But earlier in this thread someone quoted a source that the Senator is allowed some direction in his assets. Like directing the sale or asking for long term v. short term goals, etc.. Because the trust would be set up to conform with the Senate ethics laws, not SEC laws, it would have to conform to the ethical guidelines that Frist is under. From reading your comments, I think we both would agree that these ethics laws need strengthening if Frist is allowed to direct a liquidation of a holding. I haven't really worked on the investor side of stocks, but everything I have read saids that a blind trust is supposed to involved a complete lack of knowledge by the owner of the assets. I think he could give a big broad generalization to liquidate all of his assets, but that would be about it. He wouldn't be able to say buy or sell specific sectors/stocks, or anything like that. The fact that he had knowledge and access to his holdings are huge violations by the trust company, and at least ethical violations by Frist for even asking for information.

Attendance.
QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) I'm not sure, but I think its significant. I was reading something about Arizona, how they needed to make the playoffs to offset huge losses. IIRC the article said they made between $12-15 million during the 2001 playoffs. Of course, they played just about the maximum amount of games. Wow, and that would be gravy on top of a 20% bounce in attendance revenue. This could be the difference between an $85-90 million payroll and a $100 million payroll.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) Interesting, they couldn't get anyone the park 3 weeks ago. And they say Sox fans are bandwagon jumpers, ha. Cleveland fans are the very definition of bandwagon fans. They went from 8000 a night when they sucked, to 40,000 when they won, and back to 20,000 in only two years!

Check my math
QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) Wouldn't it be funny if the major pessimists on this site who were railing against the Sox with exclamations of "The season is over!", "They'll miss the Playoffs!" or "Cleveland AL Central Champs and Boston WC champs" were banned for the first playoff game only. A symbolic gesture to say the bandwagon didn't have time to go back and pick them up before the first ALDS game. I think you have your browser pointed towards the wrong White Sox message board

Attendance.
QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:31 AM) A lot of the additional revenue is going to be tied up giving the players we have their raises. Garland and AJ are going to get big increases. Hop that the Sox go deep in the playoffs, because playoff games are huge moneymakers. I think a 10 person suite is $10,000 for a World Series game, $7,000 for an ALCS game and $4000 for a ALDS game. Out of curiosity, how much of that do the Sox keep?

Gas Profit Guzzlers
QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) Probably better off buying gas producers like Chesapeake and EnCana. Im happy with my halliburton as of late but those 2 are rocking a lot more. I doubt the prices of those stocks has gone up 250% over about 2 years. The energy futures is where it is at.
