What difference does it make?

As soon as it leaks out that they’re selling, the results are the same.

An analogy I like to use is Bill Gates. “He’s worth $50 Billion dollars!”

Until it becomes known that he’s selling off Microsoft stock. Then everyone sells and his value drops to 3 billion...

The same difference not selling as much of something as you can makes.

What motivated the 1973 oil embargo by Middle Eastern OPEC members? It was not an economic, capitalistic, free enterprising decision. What was the effect on us? We're still feeling it, are we not?

Because our political leaders have handed our balls to the Chinese, all they need do is squeeze them just a little bit. They don't need to crush them.

Heck, we might just hand over Taiwan.

I think he's been selling over 1,000,000 shares a month for the last 15 years, to diversify.
