Frist sells shares of hospital 2 weeks before stock price falls
I didn't know if this was posted today or not:

http://www.dailyherald.com/search/searchstory.asp?id=96641

snip:
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.

snip:
To keep the trust blind, Frist was not allowed to know how much HCA stock he owned, Call said, but he was allowed to ask for all of it to be sold.
