2. Be concerned, very concerned

The market is up 60% off the March low, thats too far waaaaaay too fast.

Theres no doubt it will drop soon.

3. I once made the unfortunate mistake of buying a stock on the basis of large insider buying.

I lost 35% in the next six weeks. At this particular time, the market is more likely to fall at least a little than rise, so they may be right.

4. Taking gains, getting cash, diversifing their portfolio positions....

All sort of non dubious reasons.

Then again, there are the dubious insider info to consider...

5. Where are the fundamentals for a, what, 30% rise in 6 months or so...

while all profit indicators are falling?

How long can a jawbone rally last?

6. Leave it up to the mischievous Q to point out this mildly alarming trend. nt
