RE:THERE IS NO INSIDER BUYING YET. NONE AT ALL. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS? The first and most important reason is that you already own a huge amount. Most people don't want 100% of their wealth tied up in one stock. There is no incentive to buy a stock that you already own a TON of as an employee or insider. The options package will make you rich if the stock appreciates. Would you purchase stock when you have huge "free" options outstanding? I doubt it. biz.yahoo.com
