<As I've stated, there may be other factors that keep him from not selling at the moment - perhaps the greatest factor being the negative signal that such a move might send to investors and employees. Do you not agree that this might be a factor that is keeping Bezos from selling? How could Bezos hope to be an effective leader while selling stock in the company he leads this early in the game?> I can't disagree with your point. There are two reasons for his not selling. 1)Higher stock price in future 2)Signal to employees, shareholders and Wall Street. Which has the higher priority only Bezos knows for sure.
