Isn't Softbank the largest shareholder of E*trade? Are they selling?

...Cotsakos only sold 4% of his shares which, if true, is hardly worth discussing. I agree, though no one but you seems concerned about it. ;-) Are you suggesting that because Cotsakos only sold 4% that it is equally irrelevant that the VC is selling half? And is it irrelevant that five other officers and directors filed to sell $36 million worth of EGRP (in two cases amounting to 78% and 86% of the individual's holdings)? Total shares filed by insiders in the first week of Feb alone (I wonder what week 2 looked like) were about 5.2 million for a value at the time of filing of $295 million. Dismiss it at your own risk. JMO, of course. Bob PS: The shares sold by the Cotsakos trust represent 64% of the trust's EGRP shares and 18% of the shares controlled by Cotsakos if you include options exercisable "within 60 days of 12/31/98". Where did you get 4%?
