There are a number of ways I can approach this. First, one of the reasons for an insider to buy or sell shares is to make more money, not merely to make money. If Schimdt, for instance, is happy with his income, he'd be stupid to risk it. Second, an insider can buy or sell as a signalling effect. Heck, the purchase would have a signalling effect whether (s)he desired it or not. If the individual doesn't wish to explain his decision to buy or sell to the investment community, purchasing the stock would be a bad idea. Again, whether the insider desires it or not, the public would be watching. We as shareholders would like it, but his job is not to buy stock. His job is to increase shareholder wealth. The best incentive you can give someone in his position is to tie his income to the company's market value; make him a shareholder. This has been done, and I think he's doing a fine job of increasing my wealth.
