Oh yes ... I fully understand the difference in responsibility and requirements. ;-) > To my knowledge employees don't have to file and their trades are > not reported. Yes? The only reporting that I believe that the average employee has to do is if they do a same-day-sale, or if the sell options that have been exercised ... and both of these only if it has been sold in less than a year from purchase (I think...) because of long-term/short-term gains issues. > IMO this quarter was a book keeping surprise not an earnings > surprise.

Are you referring to NOVL's CFO? Where did you find this? I looked all over insidetrader.com and only found the monthly sell of 1000 shares by (just guessing ...) Bradford? Where did the 10,000 shares get reported? > Regards, > > Don Scott C. Lemon
