Insiders adding (more) to their bank accounts

Company insiders continue to clean up.

Its become clear that the Google boys hate their stock. Hank Greenberg at AIG continues to liquidate through his holdings company Starr International. If technology is on the rebound, you wouldn't know it as insiders at Oracle and Microsoft continue to cash in their chips.

To be honest, the game really isn't fair. I love to buy when the markets fall 10% or more. At current levels, when you're buying, and insiders are selling, it seems as if we are putting money in their pockets.

The last time we received a a clear buy signal was when insiders stock options were under water. What did they do when that happened? You guessed it! They back-dated their options. What a bunch of greedy crooks.

The next buy signal we receive will be when insiders begin taking money out of their pockets to buy. Since we are seeing massive net selling, I would be very cautious.
