Have you bears ever heard of options expiration? If you are unfamiliar with the term, or have never been granted stock options, let me explain. Stock options expire at xx/xx/xx. If they are not cashed in, they become worthless. As for Steve selling, we can't go digging into his vesting dates - perhaps that is why he sold, perhaps not. Maybe he decided he wanted a new Mercedes. Regardless - this is a non-event, but certain bears are trying to turn it into some big "news" item. When all the executives sell in mass let me know. S.
