Don't be so quick to blame. You might have read it yesterday, but he reported it on Nov 29, which means that the transaction happened either within two days prior or about a month, depending on if you believe the SEC's website or NASDAQ's website. But the question isn't when he sold his shares, the question is when did he put in the order to sell those shares. Those guys put their buy/sell orders in months in advance because of exactly this problem. Or maybe he had a limit order in--the beginning of November was a 2-year high, so you could easily imagine a limit order executing about then.
