...social gatherings - the more exclusive the bash, the hipper it is. Pretty much anyone, including gate crashers, can get into the official Governors' Ball. Saying that you are going there is like boasting to folks attending a rock concert that you have all-access passes to the parking lot. Unless you're a winner, milling around the Governors' Ball is a rather sad admission that you didn't get invited to any of the really tony parties.

...could get indigestion next month when company insiders become free to dump 7.4 million shares that they have held since last year's ipo into a market that currently trades just 5.75 million Krispy Kreme shares. When insiders announced a previous sale in January, the stock fell 11%. But unless Krispy Kreme announces a plan to sell e-doughnuts, it stands to humble the tech stocks for the rest of the year...
