Listener feedback:
- Question from Bigtonutz - 9372 $WY Jul21 35 calls went up in 1 block on the PHLX. Are they looking for this to probably going above 35 by July? Oh another question since I asked the other one and you did not answer, ahhh why do insiders keep selling shares? Do they feel this will drop for some reason? Just want to get your opinion.
