A quick definition of tipper:

A tipper is someone who knows important information about a company and tells someone else about it so they can make money by trading stocks. This is not allowed and is considered cheating.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A tipper is a person who has access to confidential or insider information and selectively discloses that information for personal gain or trading purposes.

Example: John, an executive at a pharmaceutical company, tells his friend Tom about a new drug that the company is developing. Tom then buys stock in the company before the drug is announced to the public, making a profit when the stock price rises.

Explanation: In this example, John is the tipper because he has insider information about the new drug. He selectively discloses this information to his friend Tom, who then uses it for personal gain by buying stock in the company before the news is made public. This is illegal and unethical behavior.

Another example: Sarah, an accountant at a company, tells her brother about the company's upcoming merger before it is announced to the public. Her brother then buys stock in the company, making a profit when the stock price rises after the merger is announced.

Explanation: In this example, Sarah is the tipper because she has access to confidential information about the merger. She selectively discloses this information to her brother, who then uses it for personal gain by buying stock in the company before the news is made public. This is also illegal and unethical behavior.

@llama: I don't know man, maybe I've been reading way too much news but I'm worried in a way I wasn't with Biden, or would've been with Harris

@texaslawhopefully: looking back, the Rs were freaking out saying Biden was going to end the country, and the Ds were freaking out during DJTs 1st term. Neither did exceptionally bad or good, IMHO. At the end of the day, the rest of the GOV (Judaical and Congress) really put a damper on grandiose executive plans. Finally, we all know Donnie is a talker: he anchors (ie tarrifs), he talks shit, he says he will do X and never does. news eats that shit up, but I think most will not ever come to pass

I really think it's a lot of political theater right now. I think a huge percentage of these EO's are just going to be shot down.

the news sells fear. that is their product (hence why u see COPD, heart meds, stress/ antidepressants adverts during primtime). We know trump has a big mouth, and when he opens it, he spews nonsense which gets funneled into ur ears- ratings skyrocket.

llama

18:56

not COPD. my bad ^

dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy

llama

18:57

@Dkk: exactly.

dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie

llama

18:58

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh

Dkk

18:59

It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.

but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight

texaslawhopefully

18:59

Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left

llama

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp

ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians

texaslawhopefully

19:01

And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

19:03

yeah absolutely, and our modern left doesn't appreciate that if they eventually want their policies, their best bet is incremental progress, not a perceived revolution

Dkk

So if you are 19, Trump won his first election when you were like 11. What were you doing at 11?

Dkk

19:03

This is just interesting for me to think about.

@texaslawhopefully: actually that was a huge counter biden movement (and harris) re they were held hostage by party politics and any words otherwise were lies that would be walked back, like border action

LawIsForPeasants

The radical left views open borders as a human right

LawIsForPeasants

19:08

they deem us animals who migrate lmfao

Dkk

19:08

Okay, man so huh. I barely remember bush as a kid. I remember my parents complaining about him and telling me why they did not vote for him. I technically had bill clinton too but I would have been 3.

hence migrants

Man I am trying to remember what I was doing at 11. I think my family had just moved houses and I was going to a new school.
