Did these CEO's tell that they are not paranoia? I don't think so. So your conclusion is just a wild guess. The CEO of Intel explicitly made the statement. I know a few CEO's with whom I worked very closely in past . They all had a form of paranoia or at least were conscious of risks and prepared already the answer in case they would need it. A good CEO should be prepared for any scenario that can happen. Economy is war, each company is fighting for as much marketshare as possible. They can trust none of their competitors.
you offer no proof for your hypothesis. who says a little paranoia is a crutch? " I know a few CEO's with whom I worked very closely in past .

That would have been a seven or eight-figure Whistleblower bounty assuming it's factual,
same thought when President was capitalized in this thread. it should have been written in lower case letters as in president.
I'm related (cousin) to a Nasdaq listed company CEO as a matter of fact. But yes I offer no "proof" - just like you offer none.
you offered the hypothesis initially but refuse to offer proof. then you use the technique of a snake oil salesman to try and shift the burden of proof from your shoulders onto my shoulders. you are making marketsurfer proud.
They had a algo that would execute trades however they wanted - I remember they had this one Doctor that was hot as crap. The trades would mimic exactly whatever the client did. I would estimate the bulk of the trades were swing length.
