that was planned in august 02
i suppose he could have done it: the 23 june 03 and probly even gain 10$ a share because of the short squeeze,the momentum was there.
just a good legal expert can answer,i'm just curious,i dont know deeply the rules,now we will have,imho,the week 9-13
stagnating,still chances for the week 16-20.
naturally i sold puts strike 10 to 25 and i bought calls strike 25 to 30,i do it every month.
naturally i have a vested interest ,like all longs,that our baby get appreciated as much as possible.

naturally i can understand the greed of our superego c.e.o
it'll vould have more decent if he did sale at the beginning of the nasdaq month,instead of at the middle,maybe preventing a short squeeze,
obviously favorable to the long holders.
that's a hit in our face,i never voted,but this time i'm fed up,next time i'll istruct my brokers to vote against harry,if he likes to prevent us :the stockholders from making some $
out of the shorts we should prevent him from making any money from as,AT ALL.

luckyly in USA it's a lot sympler,our accounts and profiles in the major communication channels look written by professional bashers,please have a look at yahoo finance,you'll enjoyt it for sure,
i'm getting old but once in taywan i sold a co. for 169kk that never made a cent but had 30kk in the bank and a turnover of 90kk,magic of cpa's

Tech insiders taking profits

Michael Dell and Steve Ballmer are selling. What should the average investor do?
June 2, 2003: 5:00 PM EDT
By Paul R. La Monica, CNN/Money Senior Writer



NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Michael Dell and Steve Ballmer each has taken some money off the tech table. Should you?

The CEOs of Dell Computer and Microsoft (MSFT: Research, Estimates) made headlines in the past two weeks for selling rather large portions of stock. Dell has sold 10 million shares worth about $300 million. Ballmer has sold about 60 million shares for $1.5 billion.

To be sure, the two CEOs still own a substantial amount of stock in their companies. And such sales aren't necessarily a sign of impending doom.

Lon Gerber, director of insider research for Thomson Financial, says that such big sales are usually a matter of diversification and not a good predictor of stock performance.
Time to trim?

But the Nasdaq is up more 27 percent since March 11. And one research firm that closely follows insider transactions said that more tech insiders have been selling during the rally and that the average investor should lock in some gains if possible as well.

Michael Painchaud, director of research and principal of Market Profile Theorems, said that based on a recent pickup in insider sales, he is recommending a "neutral" rating on the tech sector for the first time since last July.

to all
the basic acting of any man of onour should be like the good"pater familiae" of the ancient rome;
the roman code and the napoleon code are the basis of american law.
if i was an idcc executive or employee,i voul sell enough shares to pay for all the option disboursement,so THE REST OF THE SHARES HAVE A FINANCIAL IMPACT OF 0$.
that vould mean that i'm very very long but i dont want to live debt or arassments to my kids in case i die!
that's what i was theacing to my pupils in 2 unies 34 years ago,
that's should be an absolute law for any phater,
iesterday the president of msft aknoleged the sale of a substatial n.of shares,the security went up in the trading day,
insiders are human beens,they cover their butt like i or anybody rational vould do,now $numbers are substantial,so i respect anybody that clear his debt for option purchase and keep 70% of his shares.

dear friend exept the mat.you're totally right!
he's putting 800.000 buks in the bank and keeping including this year option 71% roughfly of his prospectinf(short term) share holdings for himself.I suppose i'm long as Mickey,but if i was working for our babyand
if i had less than 100kk in the bank i would have done the same.

put yourself in the brain of him,out of him out of 165k shares that he's acquiring by the option operation he is selling 50k
or roughfly 30%
he's keeping 70%
tranlated in to plain language that means he's covering his bank and HE STRONGLY THINKS :THAT THE STOCK WILL GO UP

there's a game called "scaring pressure" you buy back some close expiration puts to close,the mm get scared the stok go down
then the longer puts become fatter,then you sell the longer puts to open and the stok bounce back,in the process you make a living.
