if i saw execs selling now, then that gives me no confidenc because if they had insider knowledge and thought it'd go up to hit 90 or even 100 then why would they be selling?

I appreciate where you are coming from, but consider that there are limits on how and when high level people can sell and regardless of company a certain amount of diversification is considered "wise" if you see a consistent yet not overwhelming part of their position being sold over long stretches of time it may not be a bad sign.

@s3 the average might be 20m per day, but that's from anonymouse nobodies

The stock looks very good.

Massive stock buybacks will do that. Cisco is nearly $250,000,000,000 below its peak market cap in 2000 and that isn't even adjusting for inflation.

Every exec could sell all their shares over the next week and it would barely move CSCO needle.
Our average volume is 20m shares per day.

@hq lol. already on its way down after a headline grabbing "all time high". seems like some execs cashed out while they could and stiffed the rest of the shareholders for 4 bucks a share
