RE:Canadian insiders and exercise of optionHey “JohnnyJefferson”,
I am surprised that no one has responded to your post yet, so here goes.
Below is the most recent listing from Canadian Insider:

Dec 23, 2015 · Both Bryan and Craig sold 150,000 shares into the public market
· Neither of them has much of a history of selling shares (
check SEDI)
· They both received proceeds of $ 45,000
· Co-incidence that they both sell the same # of shares the same day – not likely
· Going from memory I believe there was a cross that day for 300,000 shares (see price history below from Stockhouse)
·
My 100% speculation is that the cross was done to get a “favored” person a position in NSP without that person buying in the market (maybe the CEO of The Cocos Pure Beverage Corp or maybe just an average joe)
· IMHO this is positive

Dec 30, 2015 · Both Bryan and Craig exercised 150,000 options at .175 to obtain 150,000 shares
· The options exercised had an expiry date of March 4, 2018
· They each paid $ 26,250 to Naturally Splendid providing the company with working capital
· IMHO this is positive
Jan 6,7,11,12, 2016 · Bryan Carson has been buying shares in the public market
· It is not like he doesn’t have very many shares (see table from Baron's below)
· It “appears” from the TMXMoney Insider trades that he may have continued buying with a 3,000 share purchase today
· IMHO this is very positive
