I have no doubt this will be the case.  If I worked at a company where
the CEO sold off a huge chunk of shares like that.... you better
believe I would follow his/her lead.  I have a feeling they're not
going to report a good quarter.  That's one reason Whitman dumped $12
million worth of shares 3 weeks before they're set to report.  If they
were going to have a good quarter, she would have waited the extra 3
weeks before selling her shares ( like I said, the shares she sold
don't expire for another 4 years ).

Even if they do report a good quarter,  their stock isn't going to
have any upside.  The executives already know this.

Any significang increases to revenues and earnings will be for same
same reasons as last quarter - a week dollar and higher than normal
tax deductions.
