Overview/Description
You're a computer support specialist for GenTronic Labs, a publicly-traded, cutting-edge biotechnology company that has several promising new drugs in various stages of development. You own GenTronic Labs stock shares that you bought through an employee stock purchase plan. One day, your coworker and friend, Clay Lennon, tells you that in a few days, the FDA is going to announce its approval of GenTronic Labs’ new cancer drug. He also reveals that he plans to buy company stock to take advantage of the situation and recommends that you do the same. What do you do? This simulation contains links to the following course: LCO0117. The types of responses the simulation presents are not intended to apply to all situations.

Individual employees will need to decide, on the basis of their own specific circumstances, how best to respond.
