John, RE: "Somebody cashing in their options? "
Here's the list:
Barrett has always historically sold at the same time of the year, in January so it's probably not him. Looks like he sold something this past January.
(I keep track of insider trades in an Excel chart to observe any patterns.) I do note when Paul and Sean sell, because their selling varies and is not consistently the same. They were the only two Intel execs that sold in July of 2000, one month before the big drop, so that's not something I'm going to forget anytime soon. Having said that, all of Intel appeared pretty clueless as to the channel demand problem, as if no one thinks independently, or as if everyone blindly follows the leader rather than challenging.
Maybe the lawsuit against Intel has forced them to be a tad more quiet on positive PR until after everyone has exercised and sold their positions.
I personally think that all the CEOs have suddenly realized demand is really back. It was like a faucet turned on last week. Strange its so synchronous across many CEOs, as if they all chat and decided to move at the same time.
With the job scene improving, does this mean Bush gets into office for yet another 4 years?
On another note, the person that appeared to be in charge of some huge purchases that made some huge losses is getting a tad more compensation than I would hand out, given the losses it appears they made. (I'm normally a pro-comp person.)
