Trading Stocks after SA?

I know that during our internship/full-time years, we can't trade stocks from the coverage group we're in (e.g., no trading in Google stocks if you work in tech banking). For those that just finished an SA position, can we now trade again in stocks in our coverage group? Or do we need to wait a certain amount of time? Thanks!

They can't limit what you can trade when you're no longer employed. That said, I would be very hesitant to trade something from your coverage group - you might not have any actual material inside information on Google, but do you really want to run the risk of someone even accusing you of trading on such? An accusation of insider trading is enough to ruin a career; there's no need for it to be true.

 

email me ill do the trades for you... buy 1000000 shares of anacot steel?
