TESTING SAND FOR CEMENT
You can test the water content of sand by squeezing it into a ball with your fist. If it feels wet but won't form a ball, it contains about one-quarter of a gallon of water per cubic foot. If it will form a ball without soaking your hands, it has about half a gallon of water per cubic foot. Very wet sand is dripping wet and holds about three-quarters of a gallon of water per cubic foot.

DEFINING INSIDER TRADING
If an investor even suspects that a stock tip is based on insider information and that the stock price would be affected if the public knew about it, it probably is illegal for him to trade in the stock.
