Exactly, "planned sales" are not sales and "disposals" are not sales but lets not let facts get in the way of our opinions.<vbg> As BD told us months ago, Carl Crawford's "planned sales" are from a guy who retired and may have wanted to diversify his portfolio. We still don't know if he actually sold. JL's "disposals" may have been putting shares into trusts for his heirs. He is no spring chicken and plans to pull the plug in a couple of years. It could have just been estate planning, but they were not sales. The rest of the insider stuff is chickenfeed. I think if the hedge funds planned to attack FGI, they would have done it at the bell. FGI dropped to 11 1/2 immediately and then drifted. IMO, the effects of the revised HLX formula are already incorporated into the price. John
