Pretty much a non-event, holdings up 1000 shares after the transactions.

I think that you are sugar coating it. True, we do not know why he made this transaction. Could be one of need. But the transaction itself is revealing. The person exercised options only 3 months after he was allowed to. Furthermore, of the 9722 shares he could have allowed to appreciate (until October 2012), like any bullish investor in AMD would do, he sold 8722 or 90% of it. Another way of looking at it, instead of being fully invested with 28380 shares, he sold off 30% of his total holdings and is now the owner of 19658 shares. Now from this you or anyone else can draw your own conclusions. Similar transactions and you should be running for the exits.

IMHO
