There have been times when an unusual level of selling activity among insiders has appeared to be well timed, but I would caution against thinking that any of these people has a crystal ball. I have heard Morgan, for example, talking up the future of the industry while it was just starting down enough times to know that his visibility into the future is not always better than ours.

<<But they were dumping shares, and soon we shall see them dumping the August shares they just bought well below market prices.>> Will you also be bullish near the top of the next bull market? Will you be reporting at that time that people are "scooping up" shares in a rising market? If so, you are irrelavant. It's fun to watch how folks use language to show their bias. Selling becomes dumping for the pessimest and vice versa. I think it will get worse until it stays the same or gets better. I'm a genious. Maybe I should apply for your job of commentating. Yes? D Ps. How does one sell at well below market prices? People who speak such nonsense are either illiterate or don't know their own mind.
