Yes, we have gone over this in some previous messages. Again, if WS bails out just because of the CEO's trading, I think it will be a great opportunity (for the long term investors). If the CEO is selling because he knows something the average John Smith doesn't know about, then there will be hell for him and the company because on 10/29 he came out and said that he believe the company is doing great and claimed CLE will "at least" meet estimate.
I really think he is just taking some money off the table, why? Well, if you are in your 70s and see your company making tons and tons of money for the past 2 years, will you take 10%-20% of your profit? Let's face it, sooner or later, he is going to cash in some of his stock. I would be worry if the company is falling behind but I don't think anyone can claim CLE is not financially strong and does not have at least a stable future (I happen to believe it has a bright future).
If you believe the company is strong and the price is right, buy otherwise, short. If you are interested in this stock, wait till after the earnings and I think it will be safer one way or the other. |
