While I agree that it's hard to imagine this could be worse than things have been with the completely impotent Martin at the helm - it's still, nevertheless a very negative indicator that suggests there's nothing good happening. How long could this take to recover (assume a recovery is even possible?)
If Martin did buy shares, I dont think he knew he was going to resign or be fired at that point in time, imo this may have transpired very recently and hopefully the ceo position is only temporary, I think? this could be one of a million scenarios so I guess we will have to wait and see again.
