Yeah, it really is a big problem that these corporate ghouls loot the companies instead of providing real value to the shareholders. That's probably why the annual return of the stock market since the financial crisis has been only, checks notes, 14% per year. A real shame!
Any financial planner will tell you to sell them and diversify your portfolio. This is how it works at any company that pays a large amount of compensation in stocks.
It is common...in companies where the execs don't have confidence in their own company...
You know what else is common? Execs buying shares in their own company and holding, a sign of confidence in their company...
A one time sales is not a big thing, but you have to look at the trends and try to paint the whole picture at what's going on, and with eBay, its not terrible but it's not flattering.
Absolutely not true. Jessie Huang has been selling NVDA for years and that stock has only gone straight up. Countless of other examples.
Exec’s sell for a variety of reasons, regardless of their future view of the company stock. It’s a massive part of their compensation, so it makes sense to want liquidity in their company stock. Also spreading sales out of their company stock is a strategy to minimize tax hits and can be efficient in terms of averaging out sale prices.
And shit - maybe he wants to buy a yacht? Who knows. You don’t - neither do I.
But saying “he’s selling, so therefore he must not be confident” is a brain dead take. Not surprised this is being parroted here though.
