Hi Nadiam: The insider selling could cause a little set back, and
dilute the shares some..but I don't expect it to cause a big fall,
however it is worth noting they do know things we don't it is not
just one or two..selling..and it could be a sign of things to come.
Also it being options related, and the options would not expired
near term, or that it does not greatly reduce their holdings is
not very in depth reporting by the WSJ , in fact it is very poor reporting, almost "baby pablem" on their part.
(1) You have a time period before which you can not exerzice the
options..well it does not touch on ( how many optins these yokels
have that they could exersize at this time ) with out that you
don't know if they are selling all they are intitled to or not,
and only that could tell us how much they are reducing the ,amount
of holdings they have , "that they can sell ".
(2) They did not include the June number..and I have found a larger
May number than the WSJ did..I'm begining to belive the WSJ..is
more "baby food" and hype than news.. and they seem to be getting
the news last, and have to play catch up and rush it to press,
about half baked.
--------------------
Don't get me wrong I still look at it, and we need to and thanx
for passing it on..just trying to say look at it hard and ask of
it, "what does it not say", and why or were do they get the
grounds to midagate or "editoralize"..a supposed news story,
"slant" it..(that's it the story is "slanted" to play down
the insider selling !).."why" ???..do they own some of AOl..have
they been bulls on AOL in the past ?
(3) I submit that the WSJ is not without conflits of interest,
so weigh carefully any of their so called "news" and examine
their grounds for reporting something such as "they haven't
materaly reduced "...or why they omit telling us how they
could deduce this. after all they are supposed to be
"professionals," I do not claim that title so I don't have to
live up to that code..but I sure as hell understand it, and
their lack of responsibility to it..
Jim
feel free to e-mail this to the WSJ, if you want to.
But I doubt it would do anything to cause
them to improve their act.
