Every one of these guys only sold a fraction of what the purchased via options exercise. Interesting. That means they are holding onto a sizable fraction still. The data posted show inseiders as net BUYERS of stock, despite selling some (likely for personal reasons like diversification and raising cash).

What about the 20.000.000 Lefkofsky sold to his private charity fund!? Tax maneuvre?

The pumpers are out in force today, believe me, this isn't Insider profit taking, its " I better cash out now" a 3BLN co. with no profits? maybe some day this might or might not be something, but not now. BTW, I am buying March Puts while the pumpers do their thing.
Sentiment: Sell

I guess the music teacher did not get the memo that the insiders are selling.
If it gets to 5.40 I will short 3000 shares again like i did on Monday and covered yesterday at 5.18Sentiment: Strong Sell

Good for you Wood!
I have noticed that Groupon here in Denmark has begun advertising heavily again on the internet - like they did last spring. That could mean that they are losing business and are now desperate for more revenue. Groupon has also snapped up many smaller companies during the last 6 months.
Either way the future cost/expenses should skyrocket! I am really exited about Q1 results, but that is 4 month in the future, since Gropoun always reports very very late in the earnings season.
