Don't expect quick stock market reactions to insider actions

Article Abstract:

Compaq Computer Corp.'s rising stock earnings prior to Jan. 26, 1995, was not a good indicator of the possibility that its shares would go down afterwards. The Compaq case shows that insider selling does not immediately translate into stock market action for the concerned firm. Wall Street expectations should also be considered since traders respond to their control over stock price movements.
