gaparrothead, I disagree. The period from the end of the quarter until the time a company actually reports earnings is know at many companies as the "quiet period". At most companies, this period is only about 3 weeks per quarter. Pretty much ANYTHING that is done by insiders at that time is considered insider trading unless it was planned ahead of time. A vague statement about possibly buying back shares in the future does not qualify as a planned market activity.
