ZED How does management options work? I see ZED, PSG had a few Sens out to-day ZED dropped a bit with this Sens: The following share options were exercised: NAME OF DIRECTOR N Celliers STATUS:EXECUTIVE/NON- Executive EXECUTIVE TYPE OF SECURITIES Shares CLASS OF SECURITIES Ordinary DATE OF TRANSACTION 27 February 2015 OPTION STRIKE PRICE R3.33 NUMBER OF OPTIONS EXERCISED 337 838 TOTAL RAND VALUE OF OPTIONS R1 125 000.54 STRIKE DATE OF OPTIONS 27 February 2015 PERIOD OF EXERCISE Participants have a 90-day period from the strike date during which options can be exercised I am still learning How would this influence the share price? Thanks

I wouldn't worry....small in the scheme of it....no effect The big sellers recently have been Famous Brands family...hardly gets mentioned or worried about.. If a small share runs hard and then the founder starts selling it might trigger some interest. Be careful ....some of these sales are "automatic" and not to do with execs "trading" on some knowledge / concern....i.e. before acting (if ever) make sure you understand what happened.
