It does not have to be related to this. INTC is at an 18 year high. They also crushed their Q3 earnings. Maybe this is a sign that there will be less crushing of their Q4 earnings.

Technically this was a normal executive sale. He is holding the required shares and is the second largest inside shareholder after Andy Bryant, the chairman. In general INTC executives own very little stock. I have been somewhat bearish on INTC for a variety of reasons and now I will add what appears to be the lack of insider ownership to that list.

Doesn't have to be related.. but do you honestly think that the employees at Intel would have kept such alarming information from reaching management for 5+ months?

To reach that scenario you'd have to have engineers lying to their bosses about what they're working on, or managers hiding information from executives.

It's possible, but I don't buy it.

Oh I am sure he knew. But just because he knew does not mean it will insider trading.
