Angler-- I couldn't agree with you more! It does not look good when a VP is reported to have sold all his shares. That's probably why the stock got hammered yesterday to 9 5/8 or so at end-of-day. But the next question is one that I haven't seen any answers to (yet) because of the need to plow through hundreds of NON-FACTUAL POSTS <<gg>>. And that is: who is Gangol, and is he still with the company? According to my written notes on conversation with the infamous brother who can access a Bloomberg: Julian Gangol (VP) sold 20,240 shares at $22 between 11/03 and 11/21. I saw a post earlier about a "new VP." If this means that Gangol is no longer there, then ... Maybe Yntema (CFO) needed some money and that's why he sold (as I recall without written notes) either 10 or 20 K shares. He still has lots more. People have to eat, and send their kids to college, and maybe even take a vacation every once in a while. The one insider we're watching the most is Leland Wilson and Bloomberg didn't say he sold anything in November. After the 144s filter down to the web sites we'll have the full story and the exact figures. Till then, just rest assured that the magnitude of the Nov selling is nothing compared to what the entire insider crowd of OXHP did last August. I know that some of the scientist types here cringe whenever I "go beyond the facts" but it would appear from today's trading that The Street "decided" that whatever spooked it yesterday was no big deal after all. Herb Greenberg's latest attack yesterday I don't think is the cause of the end-of-day plunge yesterday to a new low. Cheers, David
