I work for a public company that seems to have frustatingly long stock blackout periods around their quarterly earning calls (~2 months). I'm wondering if this is normal, and if the blackout period length is an arbitrary decision or somehow regulated by law. I'm mainly just curious about the regulations surrounding such a period.

So Lucent got fined yesterday, to the tune of mamny millions of dollars, byt the SEC for the criminal euphemism of Account Irregularities.
Like other high profile SEC investigations, why do they always mention the fine, but never discuss where the funds go?
Are they used to offset the defrauded investor's losses? Or does the gov't turn the investor's loss into it's gain by keeping the fine for its own purposes?
