OK I held off on publishing this because it really did bother me.

It happened last week to me and I could only think this is how a lot of SR stuff could start. For those who don't know I'm in finance. The company I work for was holding off on publishing it's annual report until the end of the month. This was important because it would include a list of what it's holdings are, something not updated since the summer. There were a lot of inquires from lcients who wanted to know what the holding were and we were not able to tell them. This was propriatary info and we were the people on the do not tell list because we dealt with lcients regulalry and might lsip if we knew.

Well on Monday, someone accidentally routed a copy of the annual report to the printer in my office. 5 days in advance and there I was, holding in my hands the report everyone wanted. Listing what companies we dumped and which we had bought into. Serious insider knowledge the sort of stuff that could cause problems. Forexampel we obught considerable maounts of Boeing and Northrup. We hadn't had any defense accounts before and suddenly we had a lot og stuff. a lot of aeronautics and the knowledge of this could affect the stocks as people bought into them-for example we increased our holdings in Pfizer, which took a serious hit this week, and I knew how much we held.

Now imagine I'm a good little corper in 2070 who finds herself finding this stuff? It very quickly became aparent how much trouble i could get into with it if not careful.
