I could be wrong, but would any kind of revelation to price, or advance knowledge of an increase in it’s valuation, be akin to insider trading??? I think Romney would be in deeper s**t if he actually did if he actually did make any kind of claim of an increase in value.

Read the details of the story.

He was testifying in 1991 about the valuation of Staples stock in 1987. There's nothing even closely resembling "insider trading" when you make a statement (subjective or otherwise) about shares of stock in a company four years after the date of a transaction.

I agree. He didn’t advise her to sell her stock before it went up. She chose to do so. The price of the stock at the time of the divorce was probably not worth much. Romney probably hoped that the stock would be worth more in a year especially if he was owning any shares but to say that he influenced the outcome of her situation in reference to the stock seems a stretch. She chose to sell and loss out on a super windfall!
