Bill Frist
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 01:38 PM by ls317
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, sold all his stock in his family's hospital corporation about two weeks before it issued a disappointing earnings report and the price fell nearly 15 percent.

Frist held an undisclosed amount of stock in Hospital Corporation of America, based in Nashville, the nation's largest for-profit hospital chain. On June 13, he instructed the trustee managing the assets to sell his HCA shares and those of his wife and children, said Amy Call, a spokeswoman for Frist.

6. That blind trust ain't so blind if Frist is, in fact, directing
investments and if, in fact, he traded on "material inside information" the Feds will be down on him like ugly on an ape (unless he is excused of such peccadilloes because of his position and having the right politics.)
