What's the statute of limitations for a political bumpersticker after the election has been lost?

I'm not convinced that there weren't some violations of securities laws as well, but even making that assumption, I believe (though this isn't my specific area of expertise) that the insider trader laws have been expanded by some courts to cover information received through a source, other than the issuer, if the discloser had a duty to keep it safe and the person trading on the information new that duty had been breached. |

24 hours. 25, if you don't have the nail polish remover to get it off.

Hang onto it long enough and it's cool again. Particularly if the political winds change (McGovern '72, Reagan '76). Some are never going to be cool, though (Dukakis '88, Lamar Alexander (any year)).

I'm not really sure what we're debating, other than the last couple of tidbits, but wouldn't how the information is required to be treated by the House (or Senate) be relevant to determining whether it was "public" or not for purposes of determining improper trading? I mean, if the Wall St. J. is on newstands at 4:00am, can't you start trading on information therein at that point, regardless of whether you might have had earlier access to it? |

24 hours, other than in Massachusetts, when it's a statute of repose for 12 years, but then becomes a hallmark of "I was there", like McGovern (Hi Ty!) or "The Impossible Dream", and that your car has survived that long in the salt and snow of NE.. |

On the car, not very long. If your candidate won, maybe a little longer. Otherwise, maybe until the inevitable "Don't Blame Me..." bumperstickers are released. |

Well, this is a service business. Some place a premium on convenience.

My guess is that these trades were based on non-public info disclosed directly to the Senators by the issuer, probably as a result of requests for information from particular sub-commitees.

Precisely. I was thinking of the senators as tippees w/r/t non-public info from contractors about to benefit from appropriations bills. The tippees would have the fiduciary duty and the senators would receive non-public information with full knowledge, etc.
