RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Here is a Recap on Insider Buys Filed TodayWhognu, regarding a CEO selling $10M in stock, your post shows how large a part of investing education is. No insult intended and i don't claim to know it all. But you cannot see this sale and instantly say he has no confidence in his own company. There are many reasons to sell, including tax on options.
I have not reseached his disposition but consider this ...."Under the current employee stock option rules in the Income Tax Act, employees who exercise stock options must pay tax on the difference between the value of the stock and the exercise price paid."
Perhaps the CEO was getting nailed and needed cash flow for taxes? I dunno, but you cannot blindly assume the worst.
