For what it’s worth, I received this alert from Seeking Alpha this morning. I didn’t check what percentage of their holdings this was as I am no longer in the stock, nor do I know if this was pre-programmed sales. Just letting you know if you are interested.

Saul,

I had a random conversation with a guy that works at GH and he said a lot of people were wishing they could sell which the stock spiked up but couldn’t because of lock up.

I too sold the vast majority of my GH. Was a wild ride, bought at 37 on 11/21 and sold at 97 on 3/15. If only all investments worked out so well. I’d get back in if the value drops to something reasonable but at an EV/S of 100 at one point…that wasn’t reasonable.

Insider shares bought are often stock options vesting.
Insider shares sold are often done on an predetermined schedule.
Net buys can be a good indicator, but GH’s IPO was only 7 months ago.
