Woe to you, DaimlerChrysler, oh earth and sea. For the federales bring the Number-crunchers of the Beast! Hot on a bribery investigation by the US Justice Department (and a booze-party scandal involving new boss Dieter Zetsche's wife), German regulators are investigating possible insider trading within DaimlerChrysler. Allegations arose after a routine check by a German financial-services watchdog firm, following a jump in DaimlerChrysler's stock value that came suspiciously on the heels of the announcement, last month, that chief executive Juergen Schrempp would step down. Sell, Mortimer, sell!
