On September 2 John Cannon dumped 15,380 shares of Wellpoint. That same day Lori Beer dumped 197 shares. The next day Larry Glasscock dumped 13,000 shares and another 13,000 shares on September 17. On the 9th of September, Sheila Burke dumped 9,920 shares, and another 3,200 on the 14th.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
