    So he sells a bunch of shares right before the announcement that is likely going to tank their stock price

            Makes it easier for executives to plan when to make announcements like this.

            So he scheduled selling 2,000 shares 3 months ago. Then made the announcement a few days after the sales clear. Easily planned for on this type of announcement.

            They also do the same thing for positive news that will increase the stock prices. Announce it a few days before their scheduled sale.

            Creating a routine selling/buying schedule that coincides with expected announcement periods is pretty easy.

      Pretty sure CEOs need to jump through more hoops to sell their shares like reporting that they plan to sell.

        And if they don’t, sometimes they get a slap on the wrist, assuming the money is still within the country. Which it ain’t.

        You think they just suddenly came up with this model? No shit they have to jump through hoops. That doesn’t stop them from doing it in advance of something like this

      A “bunch” being 2000 when he still owns like 3000x that. This was a quarterly tax sell off that an unethical reporter is using to get clicks.

      Hes a dick but this stock selling isn’t nefarious.

      If you RTFA he’s been selling shares steadily over the last year. This is not exactly a sudden dump.

        Yeah, I did read it. Doesn’t mean he didn’t know that there would be backlash
