RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:What the ? Why insiders were selling ?I find that most often, INSIDER SELLING means nothing... so many times I see insiders selling -- just before a stock takes off big time (example a few weeks before, sometimes even days)...
not sure why, because you think they would know "everything" and the inside story, but no, they sell too soon, and sometimes FAR too soon...
of course, they often still hold some shares, so maybe they just needed to raise some cash, or perhaps as insiders, have limited "trading permitted" time windows when they are not in a trading blackout???...
on the other hand, I find that insider BUYING usually forecasts a good next 1-3 months of share price appreciation... especially if multiple insiders are doing it...

In a good small company(such as HPQ, for example), often times the monetary compensation of the directors is kept low for operating reasons, while they are given an incentive to perform and earn more by using warrants, options, and other forms of stock in the company.
Just because you and I might not have a mortgage to pay off, a sick family member, a vacation, or a car to purchase this week, doesn;t mean one of them doesn't.
As for me? I'm a buyer. Not even batting an eye on that. I'm a buyer right now at everything under $2.00. The difference for me right now is that I am free from employment, and at this juncture in life my incestments in HPQ are here to grow for (hopefully) the long term future. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford to wait for a few years before I take profits, if that is the right thing for me to do at the time.
Good for anybody who sells, and good for anybody profits!
I DO NOT use insider selling as a method to measure future instrinsic value of a company.
Cheers!
