    The question is whether this indicates he was taking part in the boycott, not whether he was insider trading.

    But ultimately I agree, the fact that there is a public boycott against them that looks like it has some legitimate legs is going to cause a lot of people to sell the stock, whether they agree with the boycott or not.

      Considering the furor started 4 months before he sold, I don’t think it matters if he was taking part in the boycott or not.

      It doesn’t SOUND like he sold all his holdings in the stock either, just a partial amount that he diversified into a Nazi beer company. ;)

      /jk. Coors is called “Nazi beer” because the founder was named “Adolph”.
