If you really want to see insider selling look at MSFT... Look specifically at Paul Allen... 50M+ filed/sold since Jan 1...

rr5 and J of A Trades: WSJ has articles periodically about insider selling...most of the time it does not correlate with any particular stock activity...usually the party involved is building a mansion in France or getting divorced and needs some cash....now insider buying is a different story...usually very bullish below is a link to Thomson I investor...most porchers may already have this link but it shows institutional activity...rr5 put me on to this...interesting...very mixed signals today...

Hi Rick, If I might add my 2 cents here on insider selling. I would think that insider selling would pick up considerably when a stock has a significant move up. Especially after a huge move up and the stock starts to back down. Who would not want to take some of that profit. I'd like to know how much insider sales increased after QCOM had their 156 point day last year? If I was sitting on a batch of options and my company popped 156 points in one day, I think I would be crazy if I didn't cash in some of it. JMHO, Joel
