This was a straightforward sale by a board director. Sales by insiders can reflect personal liquidity needs or portfolio rebalancing and are not, by themselves, direct evidence of company prospects. Purchases are generally more informative about insider confidence; here the activity is a routine disposition disclosed under Form 4 rules.
