If it’s in the brief it’s already priced in.

Check your holdco ethics training. If the client has briefed you with confidential information that could move the stock, you shouldn't buy it.

The scrutiny would probably be dependent on how much stock you buy/its value. Martha Stewart “only” saved $45,000 but was probably on their radar more because of her celebrity.

Pshhhh

The last two agencies I’ve worked at have both had policies against it. I know Pelosi does it but it’s the small guys who always get in trouble

How would anyone even know, unless you went around announcing it?

My husband is a trader. Huge red flag given I work in healthcare with high access to early clinical data from pharma clients We’d be targets

If you work for the company you can generally buy it cheaper with an ESPP. If you’re an officer of the company you might get stock as part of your comp.

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.

But eventually I got bored and felt upside was limited. Wanted to try out a startup / unicorn due to FOMO during this hot funding market. Now I’m getting cranked at this unicorn despite friends warning me I’ll work a lot more at a startup.
