Insiders still have many shares they plan to sell. I checked insidertrader.com back to January of this year.
Form 144 - intention to sell shares.
Jan - 37,500 Feb - 51,315 Mar - 138,561 Apr - 311,139 May - 886,575 Jun - 9,125 Jul - 512,343 _______________ Tot - 1,946,558
Form 4 - Shares sold
Feb - 196,686 Mar - 3,125 Apr - 0 May - 30,000 Jun - 297,675 Jul - 0 [but they don't have to file until 8/10] _______________ Tot - 527,486
This leaves 1,419,072 insiders' shares, [less as yet unreported July sells] waiting to be sold.
MMs often work closely with the company, letting them both make $. I'm sure the insiders all love you longs for not taking profits before they do, but once the insiders are out, do you really think the MMs will continue holding it up?
Shares are getting hard to borrow for shorting, possibly because the MMs are taking short positions themselves. If that is the case, when the fall comes, not even stop limit orders will help; the MMs will blow right through them.
Beware the MMs - they have taken lots of $ from the shorts, and the longs are next. |
