This is indeed troubling. I just checked my eTrade Insider Activity and it looks like Loose has been dumping 4.5k shares regularly every 2 weeks since April 8th. He owns a total of 187,282 shares, and to date has sold 18k shares. So he's sold around 10% of his holdings since early April.
In total, 3 different insiders have been selling shares: Christopher Loose (18k), Joel Marcus (27.8k), and David L Lucchino (~30k).
The fact that all of their trades are small, the fact that they're close together is odd, especially Lucchino's trades. It's like maybe they're not trying to trigger any alarms?
I can't really see any positive way to read this, if more insiders start selling, I think it means big trouble. My guess is that they're going to miss their self imposed September deadline and need to prolong the study by several months.
I can't see them having inside info on the study itself - though maybe it's possible?
Another possibly is that maybe they think a big crash to the whole market is coming later this year and they want some cash on hand (I know many people who think this), but you'd think they'd be wealthy enough that they already have plenty of cash.
Whatever the case, if this stock was going to be a 10x-er, you'd think they'd want to hold onto all of their shares and possibly be buying more.
I'm still holding my FREQ shares, but now I'm worried.
