Public-i.org, brought to you by the friendly people at the Ford Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, The Streisand Foundation (yes, that Barbra Streisand), and the Pew Charitable Trusts.

I was just thinking this website doesn't have enough leftist propaganda posted on it. Thanks! You have done a great service!

So according to you, W. sold his stock in 1990 for $4.00 and ten years later (2000) it was $1.00. Ms. Cleo you are fantastic.

[Guillermo]

It's been in the media for years.

This is not some a new revelation.

[Uncle George]

Well the Commie-libs said OLD NEWS about Dubya's D.U.I.during the election almost won the Commie-crats the election so they are so desparate for smut with legs they have 500 slugs crawling under the old rocks searching frantically for forage.

[liberallarry]

Neither is Whitewater. I don't understand your comment.

"So according to you, W. sold his stock in 1990 for $4.00 and ten years later (2000) it was $1.00."

I'm going to BOLD some dates for you. Concentrate on them, add up the months on your fingers, and see how close to 10 years that is! See, everything can be a Learning Experience!!! :-)

"he had sold $848,560 of Harken stock on June 22, 1990, just weeks before the company filed a quarterly report revealing that it had hemorrhaged $23 million during that period. Bush had sold his stock for $4 a share.<">

Now here's the Tricky Part ------
"By the end of the year it was trading not much above $1."

[TLBSHOW]

what BS

[deport]

Yep that Dubya isn't much of an insider trader if you just take a moment to follow the stock prices....

• Sold ....... 22 Jun 90 @ $4.00
• Closed .. 31 Dec. 90 @ $1.25
• Closed ... 9 Sep. 91 @ $8.00

For an insider trading he left a 100% gain above his price on the table.... He sold at $4 and it went to $8 in 15 months. Yep some insider that Dubya.

I agree with you. It seems this mantra that if it happened under your watch it is your fault prevails with everything no matter what. I agree that the "doctoring of the books and the different accounting"was happening during the Clinton era. Before congress goes ballistic, why doesn't anyone compare the corporate "funny books" with the congress' federal debt and the lost monies of the department of education and the defense department credit cards. No one there has been punished

As for Bush, he mentioned this in his book written when he was governor and Ann Richards tried to use it against him when his dad ran and when GW ran for governor. It is old news and has been investigated. In fact, Bush was board of director not CEO and he sold stock and a few months later was when it lost a lot of money. Yet one year later it made a lot more money than the stock sold for in 1990.

Didn't Terry McAuliffe do the same thing with Global Crossing--sold stock several months before it lost money.?

Re-read your post 20 and show me where I am wrong. 1990 $4.00 2000 $1.00. IT IS TEN YEARS. Idiot.

[olliemb]

I think it read at the end of 1990 it was worth $1. He sold the stock in June 1990 for $4/share. This is how I read it.

[olliemb]

I like your numbers. Where did you get that info? Good to have to make a case on behalf of GW.

[Guillermo]

The NY Times broke the Whitewater story during the primaries.

It was not in the public realm prior.

[PhiKapMom]

Way to go! Thanks for posting those figures!

[deport]

HEC

Go to any stock quote site and look up HEC on the AMEX .... Actually they hit $8.13 a share on 27 Aug 91

[folklore]

Thank you. I have done this (oh) a few times. I am now broke for the third time since(?) 1971. I have as much chance to get it back as anybody else. Just remember you only have to learn the job better than the person one step ahead of you.

[Retired Chemist]

Fred Barnes on Fox News verified that the stock price went back up and George W actually lost money by selling when he did!

[deport]

Way to go! Thanks for posting those figures!

Got to help the tin foilers along at times. The foil gets too tight and they forget to complete the picture with all the data.

[Howlin]

If you didn't see it, watch Brit's show tonight in the rerun; the panel had a WONDERFUL time with this little item.

[Howlin]

It was investigated by the SEC and they found NOTHING.

And try to find somebody to quote besides Talk Magazine, for the love of gawd. You should be ashamed.
