  • The point is this is one sale of many.

    Yes, hypothetically the CEO could influence the date an announcement is made for their own personal gain, but it’s not worth it and there will be many more sell events in the future.

    Long run, trying to scheme an announcement to gain more at 1/100 sales isn’t worth it.

    CEO John Riccitiello shifted 2000 shares last week on 6th September, … part of a trend over the past year where the exec has sold more than 50,000 shares in total and bought none.

    This is a drop in his equity bucket and any gains this article implies are due to “insider trading” will disappear in subsequent events.




  • Just to clarify, skiplagged does do things a little differently.

    For example: they saved me $300 flying from Japan to SFO because they booked me an additional leg from SFO to SEA. If you searched for the first leg on any aggregator (or the airline’s site), it was available but cost $300 more than booking the 2-flight itinerary to SEA (which would never show up if you searched for flights to SFO).

    For what it’s worth, I agree that this form of pricing is absurd and should be illegal. The fact that skiplagged even exists indicates something has gone wrong.
