Mr. Stumpf You seem to wish to ignore the facts. Please provide a date for the alleged sales of "great accuracy". Mr. Schottenstein's last sale of shares took place on 3/27/98 at prices ranging from $36.50 - $42. That is a long way from even the recent retracement price of 57-27/32 What does your statement " bought and sold with great accuracy" mean? I believe that in the last six months it would have been easy for almost anybody to sell at historic new highs. If one had bought early as insiders usually have done, and the stock is now in 'blue-sky' as AEOS has been quite a bit of the time over the last six months, then sales at historic heights would have been quite normal. What does the last insider sale (took place in March) have to do with Friday's drop? By inuendo, you are tying Friday's correction to an unrelated event. You seem to ignore the premise that it is a very good principal to diversify one's holdings. Mr. Schottenstein still owns several million shares of AEOS. You should check that out! Also look at other major corporation CEOs and see what they do when the Company stock is performing well. Most corporate officers are highly compensated in company stock as incentives to make their respective companies grow. What are they supposed to do with their stock - eat it?
