So let me get this straight. This guys buys stock in a company that sues Google. And he tells everyone, how certainly they are going to win?

:-) someone call the SEC!
Well if he buys stock _after_ publishing the article it is not insider trading.
I thought was saying he already bought in? I'm not sure what he's doing is illegal, but I don't think it's insider trading that he'd be running afoul of. Rather, I think he needs to worry about the rules about advertising a company using an article to pump up your stock's value.
"Because it’s Ken, I buy the stock although will buy more after this article is out and readers read this." - Ok, yes he bought already before and said he would buy more after the article. Well, anyways it is amazing how the stock prize changed since January and since the article.
