Q: I was considering buying some LIF for it's recent momentum and dividend, even though it seems to have exceeded analyst price targets. But then I noticed that the CFO and CEO own only a few thousand shares each. Is that info incorrect? Does this indicate their own lack of confidence in their share price? It seems fair to expect them to have a bit of skin on the game.
