    One doubts that such a change over a few weeks means much at all, especially given the persistent and heavy insider selling most of the year.

    The ratio means not nearly as much as the changes and trends in insider buying. Insider selling is always done for myriad reasons and indicates little, but buying is done for only one reason.

    I think we are due for a rally soon but unless we see some corporate profit growth the upside is likely limited.
