Who told you that he sold his stock options?

Halliburton has over a billion shares.
It only takes 31,000 shares or a third of a percent of the SO to be a millionaire with Halliburton stock.
I have followed the company since 1999. They were close to bankruptcy in 2000. The 400% increase in light crude and the Iraq War saved them.

ok, (on paper) the other people here are right. Cheney (technically) doesn't have any interest in Haliburton. He and his wife put the stock options into a (supposedly) irrivocable charitable trust. That means (on paper anyway) the Cheneys can't get at that money.
No, he didn't sell them, or get rid of them. Myself, I won't believe anything until "Biggus Dickus" is out of office. Let's see what happens then.....maybe a cushy board seat at Haliburton at 50 mil per, plus perks, plus even more options?

Check Yahoo's data on Halliburton and you will find that insiders hold less than 1% of the stock (so little that Yahoo says 0%), and that the value dropped over 8% Friday. If you know so much about this situation, which is doubtful, why not buy in?

he has not had an interest in Halliburton since he first signed on to run as VP. You need to check out the rules before you question.

convinced. If he purely served one time period as president. A 2 time period president might want to no longer run for vp because he might want to develop into president immediately and that would want to be unlawful. I doubt any president might want to favor to develop into vp besides. Bush (I) and Carter might want to run for president or vp, yet Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama might want to be prohibited by using the structure.
