DELL insiders are not as stupid as some DELL-heads :^) Here is an excerpt from The INVESTools Advisory, January 25-29, 1999: "9. Heavy Insider Selling at Relative Strength Leaders (DELL) Tuesday, January 26, 1999 Many of the same high-flying stocks appear in the recommended lists and model portfolios of many different relative strength investing advisors. This overlapping should come as no great surprise. Since relative strength advisors aim to invest in the leading companies of fast moving industries, it's natural for them to be investing in the many of the same companies -- the leaders. But many of these relative strength darlings are also currently at the top of a list of stocks most heavily sold by company insiders. The Vickers Insider Index rates each company's insider movements, taking into account such factors as buy/sell transactions, percent change of an insider's holdings within a buy/sell, and unanimity among a given company's insiders. Vickers then weights these factors according to their relative importance. The ten stocks on Vickers' latest "Least Liked" list are current relative strength favorites (listed in order): Peco Energy (PE), Amgen (AMGN), Dell Computer (DELL), Microsoft (MSFT), Qwest Communications (QWST), Warner Lambert (WLA), Excite (XCIT), Compuware (CPWR), Ann Taylor Stores (ANN) and Cisco Systems (CSCO)." /Piotr
