They would like to beat this dead horse back up a bit somehow. Hasn't really been working.

Also see the SCO's insider stock sales graph.

The red arrows are sales by insiders and blue are purchases. Notice how there are no blue arrows. Even at the current low price of their stock.

So what will happen? I say we're going to see a SCOX vs BayStar lawsuit. SCO likes lawsuits. They like to stall for time while talking shit to the press. It gives them time to dump stock gotten cheaply from options. We'll get more of that. Only this time, investor-types (people who matter as far as the stock is concerned) won't like it. Fucking around with your big investors? Now, that's something else compared to fucking around with a bunch of hippie nerds and IBM.

I assume the "SCO must have permission from BayStar to start lawsuits"-clause in the contract won't be a hindrance, since probably BayStar will start it :-)

If BayStar is able to get ~$20M back (20000 at $1000 plus interest and penalties), then maybe RBC want their part back... which would instantly kill SCOX dead, dead, dead.

If you compare the data at ThomsonFN.com that shows some information on who is buying and selling you will notice something peculiar about SCOX.

SCOX

RHAT

IBM

MSFT

If you look at the pie charts at the bottom of the pages, it seems that only retail traders are willing to let anyone know they are buying/selling SCOX. For the most part the known SCOX traders are people using online trading or calling up their broker and making a trade request.

There are virtually no institutional traders who are willing to publicly advertise they are trading SCOX.

Now all of these charts show a large portion of traders that are unknown, however, I have a suspicion that the unknown traders in SCOX are the driving force behind raising the stock price. And my suspicion tells me that it may be for two reasons, 1) it creates an impression that the market has faith in the SCO case and expects a big windfall coming to SCO, and 2) with SCO execs dumping stock this is one way that someone could provide a payoff without directly transfering cash to SCO or its execs.

Of course this is purely speculation and I could just be paranoid. You'll have to make your own judgement as to what the numbers mean.

Insider Tearsheet for the week ending September 06, 2003

Even the insiders don't have faith in this crap. They are selling, not buying.
