General Discussion Banter GLN, page-15538

Moin mondyinvest,

your post confirms my impression of a strong negative obsession with GLN management, especially JP.

In the financial world, directors dealings are generally used as indicators for company valuation and investment decisions. Who has the best insight? Who gets good and bad news on the table first and has to answer for it? Of course, the management. If the management or individual board members then start to acquire shares in their own company, we should take a closer look.

After all, it is a good sign when a company's management or supervisory board considers a company's share price to be favourable. Investors generally take a positive view of purchases by insiders and a negative view of sales - after all, a person from a company's immediate environment can make a good judgement as to whether a share is currently valued low or high.

Nevertheless, there is a correlation between insider transactions and the performance of securities. Shares in companies in which insiders have invested outperform the market on average. In contrast, companies lose more than the market when insiders sell shares in their companies.

Of course, this statement is not universally valid, but looks at the average development. There is always bad timing.

But your quote:...No sensible investor would want to partner with someone who treats even their own capital with such reckless disdain

Don't you think that the exaggerated attempt to portray significant share purchases by the entire management, especially JP, as a private waste of money and financial incompetence is a bit shabby?

Have a nice weekend
