INSIDE TRADING
Ford
If a company issue shares and purchases back their own shares-----it is inside trading-----however
they have the right to have stock options----to allow them to purchase in at a later date--------all is very
legal----
What I see is either a company that is going PRIVATE----or a company that is trying to buy out all stock
holders-----
Ford can make money
The CEO of Ford is a genius
All is the makings of lots of MONEY-----however for WHOM-----
if it is the point to Cheat the Stock Holders out of their money, then I feel it is totally ILLEGAL------
I don't feel Ford is losing----if anything they are WINNING and winning big-----so the the stock holders
should win----however, it looks very strange------
I really hate dealing with people or companies that LIE, CHEAT and STEAL to win-------which one is
FORD?

Many camp activities, such as water sports or archery, can be dangerous if kids aren't paying enough attention, says Walton. And a child with ADHD may have a harder time dealing with camp's intense social environment if he is taking a hiatus from his regular treatment. Beyond the effect on campers, Walton says drug holidays can also put an "unfair burden" on the counselors. "It's difficult to ask someone who's just meeting your child, just forming a relationship and trying to keep them safe and happy, to do that if the kid is not at his best."
That's a challenge that some camp directors are ready to tackle. "I'm all for kids finding out who they are when they're not on medication," says Vini Schoene, the director of the Burgundy Center for Wildlife Studies in West Virginia. "Whenever a parent says, 'Would it be OK if we send our kids without meds,' I always say 'Sure, let's give it a try'." Although her staff is mostly made up of teenagers who lack training in dealing with special-needs campers, Schoene thinks the camp setup makes it possible to keep even unmedicated hyperactive campers engaged. "There's plenty of room to move, there's enough stimulus and action, and we're not making them sit for that long," she says. Freedman says Camp Winaukee has a similar approach: "For a young man who has ADHD, this is a great opportunity to just burn off everything. You're going full-tilt all the time."
Whether exercise is actually an effective treatment for hyperactivity is debated within the ADHD community. Some experts say that too many kids are diagnosed with and medicated for ADHD, when in fact what they may really need is more physical activity. But while some parents swear that exercise or a regulated diet improves their child's focus, formal clinical studies have not borne this out. So can a vigorous game of Capture the Flag replace Ritalin? "I wish it were that easy," says Josephine Elia, a psychiatrist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "If a kid is really hyperactive, structured sports activities give him a means to use that energy in a positive way. But does it treat the symptoms? No."
For Mark, medication during camp may be a good idea. But in the case of Jordan Glist, who attended the Burgundy Center starting at age 11 and is now the assistant director, the drugs that helped him in school actually had a negative effect on his social interactions, making him slower and less talkative. For him, summer drug holidays were an easy and welcome choice.
As with any medication decision, whether and when to take drug holidays depends on the individual. For some ADHD kids, medications help with social interaction, allowing them to better read social cues and exercise self-control. Carrie Wilkerson says—with maternal adoration, of course—that when her son Mark is off his meds, "it makes him very, very annoying." He chatters uncontrollably and laughs nervously at inappropriate times, she says. And that kind of behavior probably wouldn't go over all that well at a campfire sing-a-longs.
