Executives sell off stock all the time

Maybe he was buying a new house in Aspen and needed the cash

My God. It's at 31.06 right now. You think this guy had 50 people killed so he could make a million dollars? Mass murder and insider trading for 1 million dollar profits (assuming stock price doesn't go up...it did today).

Guy is worth tens of millions, but will risk it all for one more?

Some of you are just awful.

Given my ignorance on these matters, now I'm more curious in general how CEOs handle their own stocks in their company, as opposed to a more independent investor.

The link states that a number of analysts had downgraded their ratings of the stock. So while an independent investor would naturally be more inclined to sell, but do CEO's typically approach it from that standpoint?

And isn't there a risk that with the downgraded ratings, the CEO selling 80% of his stock would only solidify concerns, and then negatively impact his remaining stock? Seems like an interesting dynamic.

No doubt...but rarely do they sell 80% of their stock at one filling...3 weeks before a terror attack on one of his properties...

If it was 6 weeks before the terror attack, would it still be breaking news?

And Fred Flintstone went to a meeting with Mister Slate. Barney Rubble is a Russian spy. Wilma Flintstone had Pebbles to be a Kremlin operative.
