Why are CEOs and corporate insiders selling their stocks at a far faster rate than we have ever seen before? Do they know something that the rest of us do not? If stock prices are going to continue soaring into the stratosphere like many in the mainstream media are suggesting, these insiders that are dumping stocks like there is no tomorrow will miss out on some absolutely enormous profits. On the other hand, if a colossal market crash is coming in 2022, then 2021 was absolutely the perfect time to get out. As I have said countless times before, you only make money in the stock market if you get out in time. Could it be possible that many of the richest people in the world have picked the absolutely perfect moment to pull the trigger?
According to CNBC, CEOs and corporate insiders have sold 69 billion dollars worth of stock so far this year. That is a new all-time record, and it is a whopping 30 percent higher than last year…
CEOs and corporate insiders have sold a record $69 billion in stock in 2021, as looming tax hikes and lofty share prices encourage many to take profits.
From Satya Nadella at Microsoft to Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, CEOs, founders and insiders have been cashing in their stock at the highest pace on record. As of Monday, sales by insiders are up 30% from 2020 to $69 billion, and up 79% versus a 10-year average, according to InsiderScore/Verity, which excludes sales by large institutional holders.

The fear-mongering stock market whore. In before someone else says it.
They’re cashing out to keep more of their cash before Uncle Joe steals it all from them.
Lol. I was expecting the Dow to be down big. It’s down 51 points. Lol. You are a laugh.
They had options to purchase, and needed cash to buy them with.
1. Anticipated higher taxes in the near future
2. Interest rate increases will adjust the market down.
3. Very reasonable to conclude a crash is around the corner. You can’t do what we have done during COVID and suddenly flip a switch. It doesn’t work that way. It’s an intricate web that unraveled. It will take time to make it again. There will be pain first. If it could work that way, we could all just take a shutdown break every decade or so to relax for a year.
“The fear-mongering stock market whore. In before someone else says it.”
You’re right. The professional shorts have called 74 of the last 3 market crashes.
4. we cannot get raw material to make anything
5. deliveries are holding up cash flow.
Gee, maybe it’s because the market is at an all time high?
I want to know where there putting it!
” As I have said countless times before, you only make money in the stock market if you get out in time”
Totally false.
I want to know what they’re doing with their money after dumping stocks!
I believe Musk cashed in some of his options today. He bought them at 6.
Yep!
looming tax hikes and lofty share prices encourage many to take profits.
bingo.
It is the insider sell volume on the other 5000 stocks.
He's correct, there's some very unusual volume today.
It was down way more than that intraday. NASDAQ was down more.
The doomsayers are right once approximately every 10 years or so. They’re wrong at all other times.
Often true… especially in the case of insiders released from lock up periods who want to capture a market high…
