Context These were straight sales (transaction code S) executed in the open market or as private sales. Sales by officers can be for many reasons (diversification, liquidity, tax planning); they are not as informative as purchases when assessing insider confidence. Retail investors should note the amount and timing but avoid assuming motive from sales alone.
