It's not clear to me that he's behaving like he did in the past:

> According to filings, on Nov. 29, Krzanich exercised and sold 644,135 options and sold an additional 245,743 shares that he already owned.

-- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-04/intel-ceo...

Sure, he sold most of his 279k grant, just like he sold most of his previous (much smaller) grants, but he also flipped a huge pile of options. This strikes me as the behavior of a man who never had much confidence in the company he ran, and suddenly had much less.

Mottley Fool article by Ashraf Eassa on December 19 [0] supports your position that it wasn't just routine behavior:

>However, there were two transactions that Krzanich reported in that Form 4 filing that I thought were more notable than typical stock option exercises and subsequent share sales. Let's take a closer look. ...

(Assuming that Ashraf called this without inside knowledge of what Intel had already disclosed by that date to selected 3rd parties.)

I would do the same thing no matter the stock. It is stupid to keep all your eggs in one basket (as others are saying about userland all through this thread).
