ignorant

"Any time you sell stock it is an affirmative decision that your assets are better deployed somewhere else," said Charles Elson, director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. "I just don't think that for the top leadership of a company, large stock sales send a particularly strong message to the other shareholders. I don't think it's a good thing."

Take one investment course, please. You must always diversify to protect your assets. Selling the stock does not necessarily have anything to do with the owners future assessment of the company. Any competent financial adviser would insist on diversification as soon as possible.

I guess the University of Deleare doen't have a business school?

Don's right. The sales were proper and justified

The Google boys would have to be very stupid not to sell a
substantial portion of their stock in order to diversify and 15 or
20% is not excessive. 80% would be excessive.

This story is either gross ignorance or malicious gossip-
mongering. You have to wonder what the editors were thinking.
