Optimistic view, but I skeptically see it as just the opposite.
How about this scenario...small purchases as bait to create a sense of serentity and hope to investors. I have reentered here with such hopes based on insider buying, possible news at the Dec call, or maybe I'm just bottom fishing in hopes of averaging down. In any regard, I see the insider market purchases as niblets compared to the money one would hope an insider would contribute as a sign of strength.
Most of their options will remain unretrievable shortterm, with the exception of Tran's(by the way I still his presence as a good sign). Even if the SP goes up a dollar from its current point their profits would amount to peanuts in comparison to their salaries.
Heck, when I wrote software in my 20's the company I worked for contributed more to my 401K.
The 30-50K purchases in my mind are certainly not going to make or break any recent buyers regardless of COR's outcome.
Unless of course there is a ceiling as to the number of shares an insider may purchase, I see this as merely good faith purchases rather than huge hopes of profits, their options would take care of that.
I hold just under 200K shares now and am serioulsy uneasy. The cash flow of this company will ultimately determine my opportunity to get out above water. Neuro has described in detail many unobvious to me cash achieving scenarios. I am therefore in a wait and see state of mind.
You have to admit that an insider making six figures willing to invest 15K-50K in a company that has been rewarding him handsomely through a generous salary is somewhat glorific.
As far as extra X-mas cash, highly unlikely. Even if good news were to come by years end, their recent purchases then would be compromised had any of those purchases been in reflection of such news.
Until I hear the Dec. call and hear some positive remarks relating to compound advancement I will be wondering where the money will be coming from late next year. I don't claim to fully understand the science, I leave that to the qualified others, I do know that we will only improve here with positive news of substance. I am a half-empty kind of guy so don't let me drain the happy gas from your ballon. I truly hope my negative attitude is proved remarkably wrong.
