Damon, thanks for the 'due diligence' to post these, but arent they almost all sales made in October, which would be only natural profit taking given the run up around then based in good expectations in the quarterly (as far as I recall now), which does not seem to me too significant. The exception is FORM 144 ISSUER: METACREATIONS CORP. SYMBOL: MCRE FILER: ZIMMER MARK ALLAN TITLE: Affiliated Person BROKER: UNTERBERG HARRIS SHARES REGISTERED: 25,000 DATE REGISTERED: 11/14/97 which is a registration of possible intent to sell by an afiliated person. This can be read both ways; that the stock might be about to tank and he wants to get out and equaly well that the stock is about to jump and he wants to have his registration in in good time. This is -- for me at least -- always the problem with interpreting this kind of insider selling data (insider buying is another story -- always positive). Well, I'm no expert. What do you make of this data then? Personally, I recently doubled my position on the weakness at 13 7/8, but not based on any new facts just faith. Happy trading Shahn

Regarding the registration of 25,000 sales by Zimmer: he is the founder of Fractal, and after the merger he owned 465,000 shares of MCRE. This is only about 1/20th of his stake and therefore is not significant. It's not as though he were bailing out or anything. As for the other sellers, the 10/28 to 10/31 dates of the sales indicate a probable relation to the stock market scare that week rather than to some kind of company problems emerging.So I don't think these tea leaves say anything about MCRE pro or con.
