CLB insiders sold about $29M of stock this week after the 2Q11 earnings report. I never like insider selling of any kind, but for CLB it doesn’t seem to be an indicator of a problem with the business fundamentals.
One year ago, immediately following the 2Q10 earnings report, CLB insiders sold $22M worth of stock (which I commented on in the prologue of #msg-53398546), but the stock soared afterwards and the business fundamentals have remained strong.
