EA in trouble?

http://www.operationsports.com/news/628519/two-major-ea-executives-sell-major-stock-holdings/

"Andrew Wilson, the Executive Vice President of EA Sports, sold his entire stake in Electronic Arts according to anSEC filing on Thursday. The stock, valued at around $687,000, was Wilson's full allotment of just over 32000 shares of EA stock.

EA's stock has skyrocketed this week after news of two huge exclusive deals with both FIFA and Star Wars being inked to the company for years to come. 

There is no word from EA on Wilson's status with the company at this time -- but one has to wonder what thatwas all about for sure.

UPDATE: A second EA executive, senior vice president and general counsel Stephen Bene has sold a large number of derivative securities (vested options) as well. Stock sales of this type (by senior corporate officers) require immediate disclosure as they can indicate a lack of confidence in a company. 

We'll be on top of this story if anything develops through the weekend."

or they might really need money

Stocks increased and he probably felt that because of that he should cash in. I don't see this as really being news worthy.

While I agree that selling all the shares at once makes it seem that something is about to happen, it could just be that he wanted to get rid of them all and goofed in that decision. We'll find out soon if this actually leads to something, but for now I think it's being blown out of proportion.

Hopefully.

this, you don't sell stocks of a company you direct if you have faith in it.

[QUOTE="xxunnecessaryxs"] after the xbox 360xxunnecessaryxs

why do i care?

Don't care about the 360 or the ps3

Buy low, sell high...looks fairly straight forward to me. The stockmarket is jammed full of paranoid, headless chickens who run around shouting about the sky falling down at the first sign of rain.
