Eric, looks like the majority of the stock that was acquired by insiders was through obtained through a "plan." I'm not certain but I wonder if the company also financially supported these purchases? The rest appear to have been obtained via options which I imagine would have expired if not exercised though I could be wrong on that point. No, the insider purchases would not be a part of the company's buy back. And, furthermore, they would be prohibited from trading based on insider information. I would imagine the general guidelines are the same as for the company (one week before the quarter ends until two or three days after the earnings - or in this case, lack thereof, are announced). Nonetheless I think the fact that there wasn't a lot of selling by insiders is a positive in the long run. Take care.
