<<Because their compensation includes stock options, to increase their take-home pay, they are merely doing what the Board and the shareholders have approved them to do. Otherwise, their stock options expire and they lose out on some of their "earnings". >> I agree. But when the investors see a filing to sell month after month (although the amount of shares is small), they would ponder why. When the stock options become exercisable, they have about 5 or 6 years before expiring. <<I encourage you to hold on to your shares of PAIR if you can (i.e. no margin call)>> Still have it. Just satisfied the margin call a few days ago. I wanted to buy a little MO yesterday, but fund was not available until today. So just have to wait until Tuesday. P.
