your wasting your time on insidersI'm not sure why some posters think this is insider selling, but if you actually believe insiders are selling, maybe you should sell your shares and be out of Staccato?
Much of the actual transactions are excerise of options, which is a form of compensation for junior exploration companies. Because the actual salaries paid is small, and they do consider themselves executives, they vote for options, which is a free call They can vote these anytime and reward themselves and they do have to be excersiced at certain time and date to provide additional income. As that is their purpose. Whether it is correct to grant these and how many is another question, but is very common in mining or smaller companies. Those are things to bring up at annual meetings and as shareholder questions. Incidentally, 100,000 shares is pocket change and is inconsequential. The reasons for each director or executive excersising options is personal, but they are usually granted for that purpose...to sell. Not to keep (just in case you don't know that)
Insider selling is what the insiders do with real shares that they actually bought. ie..Rob McEwen disposing of millions shares of Goldcorp for total of 75 million dollars in 2004. It is the Freidberg people disposing of millions of dollars of Seabridge Gold in 2005. That is insider selling.
some people just can't stand prosperity sheesh
