notadog commented on SEC charges Netflix insider trading ring   sec.gov/news/press-releas... · Posted by u/hhs

It’s part of their new “EPS Initiative” where they use an analytics tool called ARTEMIS (I forget what the acronym stands for) to assign a risk score to certain transactions and traders. It’s interesting because although the SEC has been pretty tight-lipped about the data inputs it appears there is some degree of “who-you-know” factored into the risk score. So two people can make the exact same trade at the exact same time but if I have a close friend or family member affiliated with Netflix and you don’t then my trade will receive a higher risk score.

It’s part of a broader change in the way the SEC approaches insider trading. Previously they took an “issuer based” approach where a big pop or loss in $ABC triggered a look at all the trades in the right direction prior to the announcement. Now they take a “trader based” approach where they look at person’s pattern of activity over time.

So if your spouse or sibling works in M&A and tips you off to potential deals so you can make (relatively) small investments on the inside information the scheme will be flagged and investigated much more quickly.

Some possible ideas:

* If possible, it's a good idea to ask the previous homeowners who they have used or recommended for tree/plumbing/etc work.

* You could ask your neighbors who they have used in the past, or if they have any specific suggestions.

* You could ask people on a neighborhood social network (such as Nextdoor or Facebook, if you are on those platforms).

* If none of those work out, Googling or Yelping like you said also works. There are also apps for this, such as Angie's List, TaskRabbit, Thumbtack, Porch, etc.

Do you have the slightest evidence for this? Census data shows that Uighur population doubled in the past 30 years, because this population hasn't been subjected to the "one child policy" among other things.

This is a war of propaganda, from both side. None is particularly more believable than the other. proceed with caution.
