I can want a risk taking, belligerent CEO with huge expectations that demand results.

I can also want that same person not to make unfounded, potentially illegal, and highly monitored claims regarding the company's trading status that could land them in court.

And not insult rescuers as pedophiles, etc.

Basically, what chipotle_coyote said.

You can want these things but the world does not have to deliver for you. A institutionalized version of that mentality is exactly the problem; organizations like the SEC fundamentally exist because 'someone has to protect' people's ability to inflation-proof their nest-egg. People should not question why their nest-egg should have to be made inflation-proof in the first place.

You really think that demanding that stock prices aren't unfairly manipulated by inside players is a step too far? That insider trading should be alright?

> That insider trading should be alright?

Not commenting on the specifics of this case, but some economists argue that insider trading should be legalized:
