Potential SEC Trouble - Again - for Mickelson?

A report from the financial publication Hunterbrook alleges Phil Mickelson received inside information on an offshore oil investment.

You would think he would have learned his lesson by now...

I don't know that Phil is as smart as he thinks he is.

Yea, definitely gray area where you need to be super careful.

If Mickelson’s X counterparts traded on material non-public information gleaned from him, Mickelson could still be found legally liable under U.S. insider trading laws surrounding “tipping” — though authorities would have to prove he benefited in some way from those trades.

I think this could be argued if Phil gains more viewership on social media from this. Which would benefit his brand. I think doing this stuff today is way more dangerous than it use to be.

You may be right that he is doing this for his social media followers.  But still, I thought he would have learned his lesson from the last SEC fiasco.

Hi pattern as a gambler, and his lying about that confirms the above comment.

No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
