I can explain how the 'window of selling' works at my company for employee stock ownership and icentive stock options. There is a 'blackout period' for employees (which means they cannot trade company stock) that lasts from 1 month before the end of a quarter until 3 days after the actual earnings announcement. Since it usually takes about a month after the quarter ends to make an official announcement about earnings, employees are only allowed to trade company stock about 4 months out of the year. This rule applies to all stock (even stock you want to buy on the open market). Also, if there are any special announcements or circumstances forthcomming, employees are not allowed to trade company stock. In our company, any trading of company stock by employees must be authorized by the CFO, who is privy to all blackout period dates and any special announcements. The CFO will not let an employee trade company stock if the company is in some sort of blackout or special period. Hope that helps.
