I know that the insider trading "blackout" isn't something that management will officially acknowledge or deny, but is there any reason that they couldn't lift it for insider buying? If we have a pool of people (employees and other insiders) who presumably believe in what they're doing, why should they be denied the chance to buy shares at these (and any) levels while the sharks make all the money and get in cheap.

I realize there are subtleties with the situation, and insider buying could be interpreted as "no news coming for a while", but I do mean it as a serious question. Is this something that the company should (could?) consider? Or am I missing something? (I often am :)

Cheers,
