Be Careful Telling Therapist About Insider Trading

the_doctor_is_in230Don’t you hate it when your boss at the hedge fund you work for pressures you for inside information about the public company you used to work for?

And you provide your boss with the inside information for a while, but when you stop providing it he fires you??

And you confide to your psychologist about the pressure you were under, the reason for the firing, etc., but when you later get divorced, your psychologist is deposed and testifies about the insider trading and tipping you told her about???

And then the U.S. Senate takes an extreme interest in potential insider trading by the hedge fund you worked for and, as part of nine federal investigations into the matter, obtains the psychologist’s deposition testimony and makes sure it goes to federal prosecutors and the SEC????

I hate when that happens!
