IBM EXECS CASH OUT -
The Sell ! Sell ! Sell ! Phenomenon started in 2nd Q 2008. It rose to a crescendo in 3rd Q 2008, and continued at a rapid clip into 2009.
Why are so many of the Big Blue Wigs cashing in their chips ?
Big Blue Sam is the leader of the Sell ! Sell ! Sell ! Pack.
Study his activities in August 2008. [Links below.]
Are the Big Blue Wigs getting ready to bolt ? ? ?
And from the look of things, they don’t plan to leave a lot of skin in the game.
Insider Trading based on info undisclosed to the public is a big NO-NO.
For example, if Chair/Prez/CEO Samuel J. Palmisano and/or other key players, have given out coded clues about retirements, etc., the public is in the dark.
Also, cooking, or simmering, or polishing the books can result in the type of temporary but significant boost in IBM’s market price seen in August 2008.
If it chews like a rat, runs like a rat, and smells like a rat, voila, it’s a Big Blue Rat !
When all of the horses have run out of the Big Blue Barn, it’s a little too late to latch the door.
It would be interesting to get a glance into the portfolios of the relatives and extended circles of the Big Blue Wigs.
