169. Corporate officers and directors commonly buy and sell, for their own portfolios, stock in their own corporations. Generally, when the ratio of such inside sales to inside purchases falls below 2 to 1 for a given stock, a rise in stock prices is imminent. In recent days, while the price of MEGA Corporation stock has been falling, the corporation’s officers and directors have bought up to nine times as much of it as they have sold.
The facts above best support which of the following predictions?
(A) The imbalance between inside purchases and inside sales of MEGA stock will grow even further.
(B) Inside purchases of MEGA stock are about to cease abruptly.
(C) The price of MEGA stock will soon begin to go up.
(D) The price of MEGA stock will continue to drop, but less rapidly. C
(E) The majority of MEGA stock will soon be owned by MEGA’s own officers and directors.

Since MEGA’s officers and directors have bought almost nine ties as much of MEGA’s stock as they have sold, the ratio of inside sales to inside purchases is roughly 1 to 9, well below 2 to 1. Hence, by the generalization stated in the passage, a rise in MEGA’s stock price is imminent and choice C is the best answer.
想深刻理解一下提干的含义:
1 inside sales/purchase 是内部买卖的意思:可能有两个理解:(1)所有的交易都局限在内部,交易者都是公司内部人员,因此无论是买还是卖,买卖的股票都是在公司自己任的手里的。(2)inside sale是公司里的人将公司的股票卖出,可能卖给公司外的人,也可能卖给其他公司里的人。同理, inside purchase 是公司里的人将公司的股票买入,可能从公司外的人手里买,也可能从公司里的人手里买。
2 这个2:1的比例是不是应该在相对相同的时间发生,才可以说将来price会上升。

In recent days, while the price of MEGA Corporation stock has been falling, the corporation’s officers and directors have bought up to nine times as much of it as they have sold.
the corporation’s officers and directors 是不是指公司里所有进行股票交易的人。
感觉上相似说这些是进行股票买卖的公司里的领导及人物,还有参与公司股票买卖的公司里的其他职员。

上述的股票卖出和买入事发生在同一时间马?
