I believe insider trading activity is one of the most important datapoints to look at.

We certainly ignore it at our peril. One of the best things in recent years is the reduction in the reporting lag from 30 days to 2 days.

I was happy to see Hector sell off only 20% of his option award. That is a good sign of confidence.

I was very surprised to see Dirk sell off 100% of his option award. I decided I'd "diversify" then a little, too.
I sold 1x of 11x at on 10/24 at 21.95.
I sold another 1x on 10/25 at 22.45 (MA50)
I bought 1x back on 10/28 at 21.68
and I was out of cash for any more.

I plan to lighten again (4x?) at the high 25s and buy back about 2.00 below the highs.

Got to keep telling myself to sell some of the winners.
I failed to sell CRAY at 1.30 (30min after it was 1.34) because I wanted 1.33. It went right back down to 1.10.
A nice 15% trade I didn't make because I wanted 16%. Dumb!

It's been a good week after a lousy month.
