Your article said; "Yet heavy insider sales could give investors pause, since top executives and directors are perceived as knowing their company's prospects best and therefore the figures can serve as a gauge of executive confidence."
I ask is this a joke?
You think Bernie Ebbers former CEO of Worldcom knew the intricacies of his company? How about Ken Lay...lol the dolt didnt have a clue.
The bigger the company the less insight the CEO has in 50% of cases. Many of these guys are well paid suits hired because they look good and will do exactly as they are told. CEO's in my experience in the real world are often lacking savvy for the nuances of their own operations. Necessity says that your only as good as your team, if you put garbage in you get garbage out.
The Smaller company sellers are often selling to accomodate trade needs. But I guess your articles author didnt know that was a factor in the range of possibilities, too bad.
Supply imbalances need to be corrected and often the only source of shares is insiders. With all due respect the article is one big piece of nonsense, lacking credability and depth.
As to Your own take on the market Westie...get another job.
