THE EDITORIAL QUANT (THURSDAY PREVIEW)
Fired for Cause at 10 A.M., Dumped the Stock by Lunch
The SEC just charged former Comtech Telecommunications ($CMTL) CEO Ken Peterman with insider trading. Told he was being fired for cause on March 12, 2024, Peterman allegedly sold stock that same day—during a blackout period—before earnings dropped 25%. The avoided loss? $12,000. Internal controls blocked an even larger illegal trade. The ultra-petty version of insider trading: not a grand scheme, just "I got fired, please sell my stock before everyone finds out why."
Also this Thursday: The CEO buying his own micro-cap 35 times in a year Dolphin Entertainment (DLPN). And why Arlo's CEO selling $723K while receiving fresh RSUs is the modern compensation Rorschach test. See the full breakdown →
