In addition, employees sometimes receive stocks on a regular basis as part of their pay packages and selling is a way of cashing in.

That explains all of it to me.

In a period where most stock option were worthless, a bull run will naturally bring people anxious to cash out into the market.

It's not a sign that the recovery is over.

"Afghanistan will prove to be a quagmire, another Vietnam. Russia, Britain, etc. have all tried and failed miserably."

"War with Iraq will lead to the death of tens of thousands of Americans, and start another world war. The fierce million-man Republican Guard is formidable."

"I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

What do these three have in common?

A Raghead, a Baghdad, and a Head-Hag.

The lesson is that doom and gloom prognasticators are not infallible.

Executives sold $2.4 billion worth of their own companies' stock in July, a number that is right in line with the historic five-year monthly average for selling. But they bought only $73 million worth of stock last month, giving July the lowest monthly level of insiders' stock purchases in two years,

So the evidence is not that insiders were selling an unusually large amount of stock, but that they were buying less than usual. That does not strike me as a rush to get out of the market.
