Isn't it illegal to trade based on insider information? What this article implys is that these Sirius insiders are unloading shares due to some insider known fact. In reality, they are probably just wanting to reap the benefits of the sp increase of the past several months. I didn't see it reported anywhere that Sirius executive were unloading all their shares. You can ne sure there are far more shares being retained than sold. Anything other than this is blatantly illegal and would be latched onto by the SEC in less than a heartbeat. It does not take much more than an idiot to see right through the WSJ's, yet again, manipulitave reporting.
