Below is a summary of insider holdings of TIBX, taken from their SEC filing. Draw your own conclusions, of course, but I don't see many of these entities having a strong reason to rush to sell their shares. Reuters and Cisco, with combined ownership of 74% of outstanding shares, would be shooting themselves in the foot (feet?) if they were to rush to sell any large blocks. Ditto the CEO and directors. That leaves Mayfield holdings, with a few million shares they may want to cash out of, but the net effect of that should be minor when offset by additional institutional interest generated by increased availability of shares.
IMHO, all this has already been MORE than factored into TIBX's price.
