Ya, it's too bad Cheney doesn't profit from the options. I would love to see him make more money :)

Truly amazing that people would be running with a story that is also put up on conspiracyplanet.com , and take it seriously.

I would throw this out though. Since you feel so strongly that there is a conflict of interest. And you also believe that Cheney is manipulating the stock. Then there is a simple solution to this conundrum.

Sell all of your assets and purchase a 3 year flex call or 3 year flex sell puts. Take your arbitrage profits and donate them to your favorite liberal cause (minus a tidy little proft for yourself of course).

Let's see some of these slanderers put their money where their mouths are :)
