Keeler, Rebecca E. ----------- Probably the company stock purchase plan kicked in. 20010216 20010704 30 45 7342 6.81 1335798 DIMETHAID RESEARCH COMMON - ----------- The annual stock option issued 20010504 20010704 96 45 70000 5.95 510000 DIMETHAID RESEARCH OPTIONS - ----------- Cashing in on the $3.25 stock options. Guess she is doing her part to help finance the company in July. Nets $255,000, a cool quarter million for the company coffers. Remember she'll pay tax on this. Note this is type 20 private sale. 20010711 20010828 76 45 -100000 3.25 410000 DIMETHAID RESEARCH OPTIONS - 20010711 20010828 20 45 -100000 5.80 1335798 DIMETHAID RESEARCH COMMON - ----------- Good thing it wasn't a type 10 sale, its a private sale. I'll leave the speculation to SH, only to offer RK did say that the OXO purchase will be very innovative. Perhaps this is a precursor. If its to her benefit to sell, then all the best to Rebecca. The Feds will definitely "take care of you"! alright if you don'ts takes cares of yourself.20011117 20011228 20 45 -1155798 3.35 180000 DIMETHAID RESEARCH COMMON - ----------- 20 Purchase or sale carried out privately 30 Acquisition or disposition under a plan 76 Exercise of options 96 Grant of options 10 Purchase or sale carried out in market, excluding exercise of an option I can understand the contrarian traders who will trade -buy or sell - with insider info. All the best to them too. I pay a lot more attention to the timing of "simultanteous" purchases by a number of individual insiders or a "series" of insider buys than to a singular sale, even a CEO. Sales can be for either bad news, personal reasons, and there are many ways to finance an operation. Sales are too hard to read. But sales on the heels of bad news can be career ending and leads to the poverty line. I bet RK is too smart and has the integrity not to go down that road. Cast your own probabilities and have a great day. PS 14:39:40 T 4.60 -0.09 3 84 Independent Trading 79 CIBC All this talk has knocked another 3 shares out of someone holdings!! <gee>
