Yikes sounds like Insider trading. Hope we don't find out in a couple months vaccine is a dud.

he probably doesn't expect to make any more money on it than the reveal day. stocks rise and fall based on perception and the perception was that this made them a more valuable company.

His stock sale was carried out through a routine Rule 10b5-1, a predetermined trading plan that allows company staff members to sell their stock in line with insider-trading laws. Bourla's sale was part of a plan adopted August 19, the filing showed. He continues to own 81,812 Pfizer shares.

How would it be insider trading if he sold it after the news went public?

Yeah it jumped up like 10 points. It's coming down a little bit though.

He should be free to act with the public and not before it

If he bought a lot before, thats sus. If he sold it after, then he deserves to get his share for having stocks go up under his supervision

If we read between the lines it sounds like he planned the announcement around the day he could sell his stocks. Of course he wouldn't admit to it. But it seems like that happened.

As long as he announced the vaccine first then I don't see a problem with it

Much like those senators/government officials who sold their stocks after a covid briefing, literally nothing will happen.

It isn't.

It would be insider trading if he sold his shares before some kind of news that would impact the share price negatively or bought a bunch of shares before positive news became public

Eh, this is what CEOs are expected to do tbh. They want the stock up so they can profit off options and personal holdings. This could be as simple as the dude waiting to cash out when they had a good vaccine so he can buy a boat or something.

A Rule 10b5-1 means that a separate broker manages the sale of the stock under certain requirements, such as timeframe and price, to avoid accusations of insider trading. The broker was probably told to make the sale on or after the day of the vaccine announcement if the stock prices increased up to a certain amount. Once the stock hit that threshold, he sold the stocks at the pre-determined price.

Not only would it be a bit odd to utilize insider trading with this method, it also would be completely unnecessary.

I think he planned the announcement around the day he could sell. Basically saying I want to sell my stock on January 14th in November. Then when January 14th comes announces the good news that could make the stock price go up.

Seems like nothing is going to happen since agreeing to sell ahead of time is a loop hole.

Deciding on a future date that you want to sell shares of stock isn't a loophole it's financial planning.

It's only fishy if he had bought a fuckton of shares like a week earlier or sometime sooner but otherwise it's no different than any schmo on Robinhood selling while it's red hot.

They're basically not allowed to leverage knowledge they have prior to releasing it. If he'd bought shares last week anticipating the announcement, that would be illegal. If the vaccine trial fails, it would be illegal for him to sell shares before making the announcement.
