After today’s news about UHG paying nursing homes not to transfer patients to hospitals let’s see how long he’ll tolerate his portfolio taking a hit like it’s in the ring with Mike Tyson.
Bag holders
Many people bought stock when it went under 300 per share. It’s silly to think the stock won’t rebound and tons of people, both middle class and millionaires, scooped up shares when the scooping was good. It’s not insider trading; it’s capitalizing on an opportunity.
This appears to be insider trading they knew their stock was going to tank with their poor earnings statement. Why is this dude not sitting in prison.
Just a virtue signal that he is risking his money in UNH to calm things down a bit. I would rather have a CEO be buying than selling.
And I just want a 2.5 percent raise to keep up with inflation and this old white dude just scooping up shares like it's no big deal. Get bent Hemsley
Damm, If only I had 25 million dollars laying around. Or even 5 million.
Yes, they will sell afterwards. Even a small percent increase will be a nice payback.
Make sure all the workers grind to increase that stock price. Work is life.
Motherfukers bought before company’s buyback and will sell after?
