Babette, Sounds a lot more like "business as usual" than fraud. Introduction of new products is seldom a straightforward process in which 100% yields occur on day 1 of the product's life. Insiders, in recent years, receive a large proportion of their income in stocks or options. To live, in the style to which they are accustomed, insider selling is a fact of life. With the class action suits, the law firms get very rich. And guess at whose expense? If you guessed yourself, the shareholder, you're right. The law firms, like thieves, steal money (figuratively speaking) right out of your pocket at a time when Management's attention would be best devoted to the business rather than fighting off a frivolous law suit. So, if you believe in kicking your company while it's down, Sign. You won't get any money, but it may give you a perverse sense of satisfaction that some lawyer is spending what could have been your return. JMHO, Ian.
