Wow! A bunch of high profile people (including the CEO) unloading their stocks cannot be a coincidence. They know the company's value is overestimated and that the future is not bright for Apple. If I was on the board I would try to get rid of Tim sooner than later.
A lot of these types of things are often pre-planned sales that happen based on anniversary dates and/or dates associated with various stock/options awards, and really have nothing to do with anything essentially.
Wow not a good sign
Or often enough not a sign of anything at all one way or another.
