I ask again. At what point under your rules would it be permitted for a member of senior management to buy shares of stock in the company?
Are you saying it is not possible at all? We know it happens every single day in many companies, and somehow, the SEC seems ok with it.
In my most very humble opinion, shareholders of QASP stock should be tickled to death that the CEO is BUYING shares. Go to Form 4 Oracle and take a look at how many shares of stock are dumped every day by insiders of pink sheet companies. Now, our CEO is getting beaten up for B U Y I N G shares. Looks like a no win situation for Dean. Damned if he buys shares and I can guarantee he would be just as (if not more) damned if he sold shares.
This company is working toward a goal. The company is going to reach that goal whether people on this message board are behind them or not. Shareholders can either accept this and enjoy the ride on Dean's back, or they can question and complain the whole way about every move the company makes. Personally, I would prefer everyone just sit back and enjoy the ride.
