Just went over to the Thomson Financial site to check out the latest figues and it appears that so far August is shaping up to be another sharp month of insiders selling. Thomson is reporting $965,332,000 in selling vs. $44,983,000 in buying for overall (large, mid, small and micro cap) stocks. Insiders sales of the DOW and NASDAQ 100 are extremely high with the ratio for the DOW at an eye popping 1226.16 to 1 and the NASDAQ at an incredible 2092.43 to 1. On the bright side, insider selling of the S&P 500 is at a relatively low of 31.41 to 1. These numbers appear to be so far over the top that I am going to continue checking them as the month progresses. Thanks for posting the article.
