That's an extreme case, but, no, I don't think their total in that case is
public information. The fact that they're spending $1.00 each on those three
lots is publicly available information, but if you add $1.00 + $1.00 + $1.00
and get $3.00, then the information per se about the total $3.00 is a _new_
piece of previously undisclosed information -- even if it is rather obvious
in that case. Best to use common sense, of course...nobody's probably gonna
complain if you mention that you saw that some particular person spent $3.00,
for example.
