I was extremely helpful one the last oneI went with "Should I address this to you or someone else on your team?" To avoid having to decide, but thank you meow. You were far more helpful on this one than the last question you answered for me.

Need a really quick resolution:
IN a given trading day
or
ON a given trading day ???
THANKS!!
Code: Select all
Average number of trades is the average number of trades by a CEO *IN* a given trading day during the sample period. Average trade size is the transaction dollar value (or the average dollar value of trades if there was more than one trade *IN* a given trading day).
or
ON a given trading day ???
THANKS!!

Thanks @blackjack68 - that was super quick. Very much appreciated (I'm putting some finishing touches on a revision of a research paper, and want to send that sucker out tomorrow morning).

Maybe more "vocabulary" rather than "grammar":
Need to shorten "CEOs with negative personal traits". The most fitting would be "a-hole CEOs" (because that's what I really mean), but for many reasons, I can't use it.
(And it cannot be "bad CEOs" because they may be simply doing bad job, whereas I need to describe CEOs who intentionally do things that screw partners, investors,...)
Any suggestions? Thanks!!

There will be two "traits" I'll be describing on the "a-hole CEO" slide:Subversive or Undermining?
1) "Opportunistic CEOs" - as identified by (a) their desire to buy/sell stocks during the "blackout" period shortly before the quarterly earnings announcement (this is not allowed unless the CEOs get a special permission to do so) AND (b) being in the top 20%-25% in terms of earning the highest profit through those personal trades.
2) "Overconfident CEOs" - as identified by CEOs holding onto their personal stock options way longer than they optimally should. (Basically, these people are too "cocky").
The slide will be primarily about (1) - as these are CEOs who are ready to personally profit from the info they hold at the expense of their investors. But - both (1) and (2) are known to be associated with pretty bad stuff - fraud, earnings mis-statements, SEC/DOJ investigations, value-reducing investments, etc...
Ultimately, the slide should be
"Are a-hole CEOs shunned?"
So,
"Are subversive CEOs shunned?" vs "Are undermining CEOs shunned?"

I think "unscrupulous" would describe #1 above, but not necessarily #2.
