>>Quantum insiders sold something like 500,000 shares plus in most recent quarter<< >Now that makes me think QNTM management is pretty savvy.<
Insider activity is a very poor indicator of stock price movement, in spite of what people like Bob Gabele write (Gabele is selling his insider tracking service, remember).
A few years ago, when SEG was 17 (not adjusted for at least one split since that time), insiders sold millions of shares around 17.
COMS went from around 5 or 6 to 320 (not adjusted for 2 splits) with massive insider sales all the way up, starting at 15 (There were a total of about 7000 shares bought around $6 by two insiders, the new president [Benhamou?], and a director. That's 7000 for the two insiders, not 7000 each insider.)
There might be a few insiders that are good market timers, but they aren't that common.

I'm not talking special situations like a merger or whatever.
