I don't doubt he is very optimistic, as am I. I wish I could justify increasing my position, but can't right now. That being said it still doesn't look great for him to be selling now and it certainly is a reach to make it into a positive. You are allowed to optimistic about an investment without spinning everything into good news!
Wouldn't it have made sense for the company to have been proactive in putting out some explanation for the selling? They should have been smart enough to know that this could very possible be construed in a negative light. In my mind it's an example of management seemingly "not getting it" when it comes to expected communication from a professionally run public company.
