12/9 A public company (NASDAQ/NYSE) needs to publicly disclose
important information right? Is there a way to find data that
shows who owns most of the stocks, when they're dumping (to measure
their confidence in the company), and how many people are shorting?
\_ It has been a few years since I took a business organizations
course, but from what I remember, there isn't a requirement for
companies to diclose who their major shareholders are b/c this
can and does change frequently. You might be able to figure out
when a major inside shareholder is dumping shares b/c they
generally have to give notice of intent to sell shares in advance
of the transaction. But, there isn't any similar requirement for
outside sharehodlers. Shorting is similar, but most companies
don't allow insiders to short the companies stock.
\_ Go to http://finance.yahoo.com. Enter your stock symbol, click "Get
Quote". Under "COMPANY", click "Profile". Under "Key Executives",
look at the pay and exercised options table. Then click "View
Insiders", and look at the "Insider Transactions Reported" table.
\_ Wow that is really cool THANKS! I'm looking at GOOG out of
curiosity: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=GOOG
I find it funny that John Doerr exercises only 46 at a time.
This is not what I expect from multi-millionaires. LOL!

is wrong-- Neither Larry/Sergey are DOCTORS (they're just PhD
dropouts) and they exercised more than 0.00 shares.
\_ All this info comes from the 10-K and 10-Q that companies file. But
it takes a lot of reading to dig it all out.
\_ That table is what they exercised this year.
