On NOV, my point was that it has been here far longer than any period that insiders might have been restricted because of "quiet periods", etc. -- and they have not bought. Your point on options is reasonable. However, if I am going to buy one of these beaten down dogs, I want potential to make 5 times on my money -- otherwise why take the risk, just wait for a NH with 2-3 times potential, a big dividend and trivial downside risk. If insiders see 5 times they will be buying in the open market whether they have options or not. Therefore, since they have not, I conclude they do not see that potential.
