There's nothing conclusive about the above sales, but they do tie in with a post I've wanted to write for a while. OK.v is one of those Siren Song stocks. I've looked at it at least half a dozen times and the story looks strong enough, the JV deal with PAAS and the free ride and this and that. I've taken questions on the stock from mailers more times than i can remember offhand. But when the inevitable deeper DD moment comes along and I start asking round I can never get industry insiders (or at least the ones I listen to and/or trust) to say a good word about the company. The responses are either "no comment" and "I pass on that one", or they're ....hmmm......let's just say not very complimentary towards the management team and leave it at that, cos for some unknown reason I'm feeling diplomatic this morning (let's hope it wears off).

The upshot is that I've never bought OK.v but have always watched it. Not planning on buying it either, especially when insiders think it's a great time to sell. DYODD, dude.
