Bill Gates also sold shares long below the high...

99.9 percents of directors and managers go to work for getting money (for their houses, wives, children, cars,...) and dont give their money for buying and buying shares over and over again of one company.

Duh... I didn't check late on a Friday night... I check during the day....!!!

OH... maybe we should discuss how many shares BOUGHT vs. Sold by insiders ..over the last year??

Or .. better still... How about the correlation of Buys... to the stock going up... vs... Sells and the stock going down!!!

I am sure most investors ALREADY know that there are many reasons why INSIDERS sell.... but ONE main one why INSIDERS buy.... They believe the stock is going up!!!!

I am sure all investors... have enjoyed watching the stock GO UP right??

If you check the SEC filings on Opko Health's website you will see that Robert Baron exercised 100,000 stock options on 01/07/14 and subsequently sold stock to pay taxes from the exercise (what portion of the sales is for this purpose we'll never know). What's interesting is a number of Opko insiders, including Robert Baron, have recently exercised options early; some of those options had expiration dates more than a year out-2015.
