The insider selling to buying ratio has been over 2000 in recent weeks. This is likely less of a dire sign of MSFT's prospects than it is a condemnation of the US economy after Heli Ben's QE2.
I bet he pumps it into commodities, metals and markets like brazil that aren't devaluing their currencies.
- barrkel 16y agoWhy do you think metals, Brazilian markets etc are a better store of value than MS stock? Why would you expect QE to affect MS stock as a store of value? In what circumstances would MS stock intrinsic value decrease but world commodity prices hold up, if not a business failure of MS itself?
- rrhyne 16y agoMSFT is not immune to economic downturn especially a crash called by a currency crisis. The FED is currently walking a currency crisis tightrope. As for value stores, look at the performance of the Brazilian market over the last few years and gold and silver. Worse, if we have a currency crisis here the entire equities market is toast. The people who called this depression (Schiff, Denniger, etc) are calling for a currency crisis due to the fed's actions.
- alextp 16y agoTo be honest, a devaluing currency is precisely what you want to invest in a country, as it makes exports from that country way cheaper.
- rrhyne 16y agoThat's the 10,000 foot view of an entire economy, not a man trying to peg the top of an artificially inflated market.
- jfager 16y agoYeah, because nothing says "I condemn the devaluing of this currency" like asking for 1.5 billion of it right as said devaluing is happening.
- rrhyne 16y agoSo you think because he sold his stock he has to keep the dollars he got for it?
