Looks more like an investor/institution selling than a real insider...plus looks like its a month and older.. I would like to look at it as....changing hands

Hi Jack of All Trades: Thanks info on JDSU. I think the Troops have already answered you in posts 17561 and 17565. I agree with Venkie and CATechTrader. On insider selling, my experience overall has been that in most cases it never really means anything alarming on the quality stocks, although still good to check out when you hear about it. It is not uncommon for the execs to do it sometimes. I recall years ago when I was big in INTC and there was always debate about insider selling when someone found out someone sold. Then there was my Dellhead days and folks would go nuts when they heard Michael Dell sold some. Seems it usually amounted to nothing to worry about at all, and there were good reasons they sold to raise some cash as opposed to them selling to get out of their own company due to worry about its performance. Usually, the amount the insider would sell actually was a very small amount of their total stock holdings but a lot to folks like us. Thanks for the heads up. JDSU is my number one holding and I have substantial call options, so I'm really extended on JDSU. Any info like you presented is worth checking and I appreciate it. Rick
