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.

They're avoiding the increased taxes they're going to pay starting January.
Moving it out of Biden’s way
Crappy blog is crappy
Never mind “why are they dumping stocks”.
Why are they all building fortified farmsteads on the South Island of New Zealand?
“Often true…”
Reread the statement. Absolutely false.
IMO stock prices are up in large part due to inflation. The higher dollar values are in inflated currency. Though the whole market seems to be a big casino to me in any case. Profits?!?! Ok, Boomer!1!!LOL
Interest rate increases will adjust the market down.

Correct. The higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of future cash flows
There have been times in history where you would’ve waited 20 years after a correction for the market to get back to even.
I’m giving your declaration. “Mostly False” rating
You beat me too it, forget the stock moves. Why has pretty much every billionaire build apocalypse bunkers in a remote island on the other side of the world off the plane of the ecliptic mind you. Why is that important because nearly every major comet and asteroid orbits in or near the solar plane of the ecliptic the odds of an astrological impact are lowest at the poles and next lowest is far as one can be from the plane of the ecliptic guess where New Zealand falls.

Here’s why Microft and Amazon execs are selling their stock:
Capital gains tax
The 2021 Washington State Legislature recently passed ESSB 5096 (RCW 82.87) which creates a 7% tax on the sale or exchange of long-term capital assets (stocks, bonds, business interests, or other investments, and many tangible assets) if the profits exceed $250,000 annually. This tax applies to individuals only, though individuals can be liable for the tax as a result of their ownership interest in an entity that sells or exchanges long-term capital assets. It is only applicable to gains allocated to Washington state. The tax takes effect on Jan. 1, 2022, and the first payments are due on or before April 18, 2023.

ROTFLMAO!
As well as funding their joint venture BEV.

“Mostly False”
Everyone sells in late nov/dec to offset capital gains with losses and buys the same stock back in 30 days.
Likely re-investing it to reset the basis.
Always watch what the insiders are doing. They are taking their cash now, before the price drops due to misses in earnings. Insiders know what the prices of materials are going to, and realize that they cannot raise their prices high enough to cover the increased costs and maintain their market share in a dwindling market. Hence the earnings misses.
Further they probably want to unload their positions, before taxes get the majority of their earnings. The stocks are usually paid as performance bonuses (in lieu of cash) and they know they are going to get soaked going forward.
None of this is going to end well, for any of us.
Inflation and dropping stock prices will wipe out most middle class estates, thus the heirs will inherit dust.
THAT’S the real reason
