If he really wanted to profit in the stock market, he could have bought call options for the cruise lines, or put options on Zoom, both of which jumped more than Pfizer stock did. And if I understand correctly, that wouldn't have been insider trading, that would have been perfectly legal?

Also, the article mentions it was a 10b5-1 plan. Typically that means he is precommitted to sell stock on a predetermined schedule, and had no choice but to continue selling this stock on this day as planned.
