Kotick's got some dough!

My mom was telling me I should invest some during this stock market downturn. Was looking at Activision Blizzard and stumbled into the shareholder transactions list.

Check out the size of the transactions Kotick did on Blizzard stock in 2009. It looks like exercised stock options and cashed out close to $50 million.

Spoiler

• Rule #1 of the OT Forum: This forum is for "off-topic" subjects. Since the game is the topic of the site, "off-topic" is defined as those subjects not about Diablo II, Blizzard Entertainment, etc. Other games are... fair game. :-)

The OTFFAQ is so out-of-date it could be classified as a fossil. We have a much shorter, revised version that will probably make its appearance shortly before Crowbar Trois. No need for it now.

Anyway, there's nothing "on-topic" about stocks, even if they're Blizzard stocks. I do enforce the "no crowbar" half of the rule but I don't enforce the "no Blizzard" half because... well, there's no tactful way to put this: it's stupid.
