RE:RE:RE:RE:CEO and top executives should buy millions in open market

RE:RE:RE:RE:CEO and top executives should buy millions in open marketIf VET executives have complete confidence in VET’s survival then these share prices are a steal. They would be fools to turn down what would be a once in a lifetime opportunity...unless it’s not.

Diversification be damned if you have essentially a sure thing...unless it’s not. And try telling the two richest men in the world about the need for diversification. Bezos and Buffett both own just one stock, not because they’re lucky fools but because they knew they had essentially sure things. 

JMHO. GLTA.

I bet there are many people on the message board who have lost more personal wealth on VET as a percentage of their total wealth than many top executives at VET.

But it’s not simply about enough skin in the game. No one should no better than VET executives on the value or lack of value of VET shares. At these extreme prices VET executives could opening and in a completely transparent manner buy millions of shares in the open market. It could make them tens of millions of $$$ and good for them. What an opportunity for them!!! It would also convey tremendous confidence in the company.

Let’s see what happens. If VET has a bright future then I wouldn’t expect VET executives to chance waiting much longer. JMHO. GLTA.

Unfortunately I’m not holding my breath for this to happen. JMHO. GLTA.
