Keeping in with the insiders

A few fun insider trades to note from yesterday's filings:

More insider selling at Colossus (CSI.to) where persona non grata at Serra Pelada Kishida dumps more, along with head honcho Sussman and another 10k at $5.90 on December 30th finally filed. You have to wonder why these people are so keen on dumping at these current levels........

Meanwhile, reporting direct from HowTheOtherHalfLives, we catch up with Haywood's Chairman John Tognetti who's been shuffling a few tokens around and selling chunks of fast-rising hotpot Mirasol (MRZ.v)...

But then again, as the Tognetti dude still has 4,050,000 shares of MRZ.v and 5,139,450 shares of XAU.to hanging around (as well as a whole bucketful of in-the-money warrants and stuff) I hardly think we should worry about this one too much. Probably paying his lunch tab or something.......
