<continues to suggest insiders know not to sell as they did in may> Aren't 3Com employees subject to a blackout period for buying and selling shares?

Isn't it possible that on occassions an insider has to sell for some reason or another. Maybe personal or maybe company specific reason like use-or-lose. Maybe COMS has a special interest in somehow wanting it's employees to sell at dirt cheap price - possibly, it's a way for COMS to lower employee expenses. (I'm just guessing here, don't know much about employee related options payment plans, etc....) Or on a personal note: Maybe he's making a loan to his son so he can afford the down payment on a $1 million house. You know, all kinds of difficulties in life can come up.<g>
