I'm having trouble with this report. Were Goldman execs really that afraid? I'm assuming these weren't junior execs that were out of the loop due to the shear size of the stock sales. Was there some ulterior motive (like knowingly lowering their cash position in order to qualify for bail-out funds)? I'm at a loss. Why would Goldman execs, guys that supposedly are "in the know" and masters of the universe, run for the exits at the lowest lows of theri own stock?
