Barron's on **Insider Selling** at Dell...
At Dell itself, insider selling understandably has been commonplace
for years, as executives and directors were often tempted to cash in
on the company's steadily rising share price. However, until recently,
the sellers continued to hold on to sizable stakes. Lately, some have
made significant dents in their holdings.
Make no mistake, not all Dell insiders are trimming their holdings
materially. For instance, CEO Michael Dell's sales, despite all the
attention they receive, likely are the least significant. After all, he still
owns over 215 million shares. However, some lesser lights have
been bailing out and, while it's too early to tell whether it portends
anything important, the situation is definitely worth watching.
