The medical supply and health care industries have experienced significant insider selling from Dec 1992 to Feb 1993. The profit-taking has been prompted by Pres Bill Clinton's impending tax hikes. The other sectors which have shown high distribution levels include computer software and hardware, electronics, broadcasting, telecommunications, apparel, biotechnology, drug stores, restaurants and steel.

Becton, Dickinson & Co

Article Abstract:

Becton, Dickinson and Co belongs to the healthcare sector. Three insiders purchased 1,500 shares between Jan and Feb 1993 at a price average of $37.25. The significance of the accumulations is evident upon consideration that the purchases occurred before a two-for-one stock split. It would seem that the insiders are more optimistic about the split than usual.

Becton Dickinson and Co.
