EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.

i mean its sort of an interesting corner case. On one hand you're clearly trading from inside, but on the other hand there's a giant hole in the plane so inside vs outside is kind of squishy

I'm 99% sure the answer to that is actually "no".

e: I'm gonna up that to 100% but I would really love to see the court case on it
i would argue “not insider training” as the crash is an empirically observable event. you could also be watching a plane with binocs and short the plane company (or w/e) when you saw it crash. insider trading is meant to render non-public information inactionable

this thread maybe doesnt have room for 2 green xbox one avs
in the us insider trading requires some obligation to protect the information

as matt levine would say, its a crime of theft from the company that owns that information

a random passenger on a boeing flight doesnt have any obligation to boeing

iirc in europe its different in that this obligation isnt necessary

o he actually wrote about it in today's column lol

more or less says the same thing he always does since he talks about insider trading laws a lot:

Matt posted:

Thanks everyone. Nothing here is ever legal advice but this seems fine? Insider trading, I like to say, is not about fairness, it’s about theft. It’s illegal to trade on information that isn’t public and that you have some duty to keep secret. If you work for Boeing Co. and you put the bolts in wrong and trade on that information, that’s bad: You learned the nonpublic information in your job, and you had a duty to Boeing to use it only for the good of Boeing rather than trading on it. If you’re the pilot, don’t buy puts when the door flies off. (Land the plane!) But if you are just a regular person and you go to McDonald’s and buy a burger and say “this burger tastes bad, I’m gonna short the stock,” that’s fine, that’s legitimate research. If you log into Instagram and say “hey this app is good” and buy Meta stock, that’s good. People are supposed to go around observing companies’ products and services, evaluating them, and incorporating those evaluations into their investment decisions. That’s how stock prices become efficient and how capital gets allocated to good uses rather than bad ones.

Similarly if you’re on a plane and the door blows off and you think “this plane is poorly constructed, I’m gonna short some stocks here,” seems fine. What duty do you have to keep it confidential? Maybe there’s some fine print in your ticket contract but I doubt it. There are probably edge cases. What if you are flying for a work trip: Do you owe some obligation to your employer not to use the information to trade for your own account? Still probably not a huge enforcement priority to come after you.

I have a lot of points to make and I will make them later.
wait, what if you are a pilot on the plane, and all the passengers have already died
