By extension of your logic it would be quite okay for say Julian Cook to be buying millions of dollars of shares immediatly before a really positive future quarterly sales result.
Surely you can see this is illegal insider trading ????? If it weren't so directors of all listed companies would effectively have a free printing press running off $100 notes whenever the occasion presented itself.
Perhaps you are suggesting that because she's done a good job, (in your opinion), and she's retiring she gets a free pass...kind of like if you land on the right square on the monopoly board you get a get out of jail free card ?
