Assuming this is not a new IPO, and no lock-ups, how far in advance do insiders have to declare selling their stock?



From what I read online, they certainly can not immediately sell their stock the day or 2 before they report earnings, but how far in advance do they have? A month? 2 months?

To my knowledge, there are no laws in the US that specify any specific time frame during which insiders cannot sell company stock. Insider trading laws instead are based on the access to material, non-public information, regardless of timeframe.



Many companies have policies that prevent employees from trading within certain timeframes of press releases or earnings reports without prior approval, but those are company-specific policies, not legal requirements.



The bottom line is if someone trades (or "tips" someone else who trades) on the basis of material, non-public information, then that person may be guilty of insider trading.

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
