I told this story once on some thread and I will tell it again. I bought an insurance stock in the early 90s named CGY. The stock proceeded to fall about 20% right away. I called up the company one morning and the CEO picked up. I asked him what's wrong with your company. He said nothing, why. I then said your stock has fallen 20% since I bought it. He giggled and told me not to worry about it and buy some more. I said really. He said yeah, I have no idea why the stock is falling, the company is fine and doing well, that I can assure you. I then hung up and told the story to my wife. She told me, sure, he is being very nice with your money.

Bottom line: 3 months later the stock got bought out by GE and I made a little over 50%.

The moral of the story here is to show how insiders react to declines in their stock price, if they know they are running a good company. No panic. Just remain cool, calm and steady.
