    This particular decline was caused by a bunch of insiders, including one greedy pigboy, selling some of their shares.

    That’s not necessarily a sign of any problems at the company, though. These insiders are probably carrying this equity from before it ever went public and sell shares periodically as part of their (insane) compensation. For instance, the aforementioned greedy little pigboy sold $2m according to that article, but still holds more than $90m at current valuations.

      It’s a very strong sign that there aren’t a lot of people waiting to buy.

      But then, as many people already commented, the market is not very hot right now.
