Nah, I'll leave that to the pros of it, like you...thanks anyway, though. Honestly, if you really believe selling is always an indication of something negative, you've spent little time considering all options. Selling occurs for lots of reasons, and while the belief that your stock has peaked is one of them, it certainly isn't the only one. The problem that people have is 2 fold: 1. the magnitude of these sales is often quite large 2. the belief that somehow insider knowledge has led the person to make the sale. I've owned a number of stocks in which insiders were net sellers even as the stock climbed. After reading the documents, I didn't see anything of substance to worry me. You'll notice that I said CEO's have to do it frequently...that much is very true. I sold ORCL because as a % of my portfolio, I became overweighted. CEOs have that problem about 1000 times over.
