RE:Recent insider tradinghow on earth shall this explain the recent trend? look at what is said: this director sold 86k shares for $17k on Jan 19th and on Jan 31 he used his stock options and purchased 400k shares for $20k - which basically means that he quadrupled his position and payed almost nothing for it (made $17k profit, invested $20k, makes -$3k in cash for him but 4 times the amount of shares in his ownership).
