Hi Joel,
Hi Gang,
Anyone note the relative buying percentage ongoing over the past six months and who accounts for it.
See the profile at Yahoo on buying.
· Insider: 55% · Over the last 6 months: · 21 insider buys; 5.46M shares (27.4% of insider shares) · Institutional: 46% (102% of float) (32 institutions) · Net Inst. Buying: 1.12M shares (+5.05%) (prior quarter to latest quarter)
Then note the average daily volume.
Approx 100,000 shares...which I believe is a three month figure.
Hence outside of the Tax loss selling these guys have been loading up "SIGNIFICANTLY".
