More regulation please. I am sorry but human nature and greed will always drive things into the ditch.

[Economista]

Well, the corporate bigwigs aren't really doing anything illegal, per se; however perhaps it's just not a good idea to buy millions of stocks on credit? Doesn't this parallel how we got into the whole asset-backed security mess?

I'm sure Joe the Plumber wouldn't have sold his large stakes.

[McSorely]

Joe the Plumber doesn't have large stakes.

"When company executives sell off shares in an emergency bid to shore up cash, it can stir trepidation among shareholders and spark a dash to dump shares even further."
So does this mean everyone else is going to dump their shares..what do the pundits think?
