Has anyone on the thread tried to determine what percentage of Michaels sales can be attributed to options that are about to expire? I would imagine it is possible to calculate based on disclosures in the SEC filings. This would give us a simple response to this regular quarterly argument. I would be even more interested in similar data for other officers, as their sales would seem to have more significance. Also, I read somewhere that insiders are not allowed to repurchase shares for 6 months after a sale. Can anyone confirm or deny this? As far as what Michael does with the money, in addition to charity, mostly in the Austin area, he recently set up a venture capital fund with about $1 billion in assests. Sounds like prudent investment diversification to me, and also allows him to seed technologies that Dell needs without diworsifying Dell. BTW a few months back John Chambers sold one third of his shares in Cisco and it does not seem to have hurt the stock much. Ken
