The truth is the market won't care how any of us feel about the tiny amount of insider selling. The market usually reacts only one way to this so there is no sense in down playing it or wasting time justifying it. The market just doesn't care what the reason is. It doesn't matter if its 20k shares or 200k shares. For that little money, you would think there would be a different way to avoid any more negative impact (regardless if its justified).

Yes, Dr. Taylor is free to do what he wants, and of course we are all here because of him in the first place. Yes, its only short term noise, but its important to note that its the combination of all the short term noises over the last 4-5 yrs that has prevented any steady increase in SP despite all the progress they have made and as we get exceedingly close to commercialization we sit nowhere near the true value as a result.

In a year or so it might not matter, but for those in a money crunch over the last few years who based some financial decisions on expecting some steady growth as commercialization nears, every little thing like this impacts the share price from moving forward steadily. Many of us have always wondered why this stock doesn't move up on speculation like others that are pre-revenue. Also why after 5 years of outstanding accomplishments for an almost certain disruptive technology with a solid management team, we are sitting at prices below 2011 levels. Add up all the short-term noises we've experienced, loads of paper floating around, traders using less then desirable historic results to their advantage, and that might just be a big contributing factor.
