Hi Dale, I just wanted to mention some of the insider selling in some of the former high flyers. Take CORV, NUFO, STOR or AVCI for example. Nothing but continuous 144's. One could surmise that if mgmt saw a turnaround the second half of this year they wouldnt be selling now. Hard to put much faith in many of these co's. Couple of modest looking stocks I am looking at this weekend are ROHN and DKWD.

Dale, there is always excessive insider sales (namely more sales than buys), the question is often how much. There are few people that watch these, and if memory serves, when the ratio (dollar volume?) of sales to buy goes down under 1.5 it is bullish and when it goes above 3 or so it is bearish. i will not vouch for these numbers since I am not a follower of the inside selling as an indicator. Not that it is a bad indicator, it is simply much too slow and has no relationships to day to day market fluctuations, only to major bear or major bull moves. Despite the huge decline in the Naz, this indicator has not turned bullish as far as I know, indicating that the current "bear market" might still be intact. Zeev
