Just an overall market comment:

Early this year I was amazed at the volume of selling by insiders - I do not recall the exact numbers but whereas the typical ratio of
selling to buying is something like 2.25 to 1, then it was at least
twice as worse if not more at something like 5 to 1 (just guessing
based on # of 144s etc).

Well how times they have a changed.

Now at insidertrader.com I see 14 pages of buys for the month of Aug
cp. to 11 pages of sells. Though this cannot be translated directly
to # sells vs. # buys or cp. of capitalizations, this is really an
amazing number in the positive sense. With 11 pages of sells one would have expected (roughly) 4-6 pages of buys if the market were farirly
valued. 14 pages means we are getting somewhere in the neighbourhood of 3-4 times more buying in the market than we would normally see!

So now I'm amazed (and mucho pleased!) by what appears to be extremely heavy buying...

bet the buying is strong in my small caps <g>

from insidertrader.com pages of sells and buys (did not
bother with partial pages so data is at least distorted
that way as well as many many others <g>).

But point is that it is unusual to see so much
buying relative to selling. There usually is a lag
between insider buying and stock prices - so
we shall see what the next few months shall bring...

Guess: this Oct. stocks go up instead of the usual down with a thud...
(random WAG)
