<<The insider simply shorts whatever number of shares he wants to sell right NOW and then covers when he eventually gets the shares from options, secondary offerings, or whatever.>> Well, there are SOME obstacles to this, such as lock-up periods when insiders are barred from selling (at least technically). But generally speaking, "supply" of corporate insider holdings is not an obstacle. Moreover at major bottoms, insider BUYING tends to be at high levels. Needless to say, this is not the case presently!

When I first read the comment that insiders might run out of shares to sell, I was quite amused at the naivete of that comment. Guess I skipped over this one. Do you know what an IPO is? It has nothing to do with EXISTING Companies. It has nothing to do with current shares traded on any major exchange. IT IS A NEW ISSUE. PERIOD. One that has not come to market yet. One that has to register to bring it to market. Yes. Six months. The bear spin doctors work the web. Naive? lol Keep talkin' Best Regards, J.T.
