    Why would executives sell shares of their own company in any case?

    I could imagine selling a handful of shares to finance a big purchase like a house, but otherwise they shouldn’t ever be cashing out while they’re in charge. If they think they’re serving the company, they should be holding onto their shares.

      The flaw is the notion that they serve the company. This is a parasitic class which serves itself above all else.
