They show 8 different insiders selling 194,000 at prices between $30 and $34.625. 5 of the insiders are current or former Officers (the guys who know best what is going n). Any insights on this significant selling?
Fil,
The selling was insignificant. You are right, these people know best what is going on. See my post 35524, which I will repeat here:
Synopsis of insider sales this Feb. 1998 window:
Ejabat 34,998 Ejabat 20,000 Stagno 11,693 Deshparde 35,000 Colicchio 5,000 Sanford 15,000 Johnson 18,000 Johson 12,000 Smith 50,000 (perhaps another 50,000...being checked) Schneider 25,000
Total: 226,691 or 276,691
This total is very, very low compared to insider sales during earlier open windows. As such, it may even suggest that insiders are relatively "holding" ASND, a positive sign:
Oct-Nov 97: 485,955 Feb 97: 646,193 Oct-Nov 96: 543,707 Jul-Aug 96: 249,829 (ASND rose after this window from 52 to 72) Apr-May 96: 695,628 Jan-Feb 96: 603,986
