Speaking of big pay days, Thurman John “”TJ” Rodgers led all insiders in stock sales. The chief executive officer of Cypress Semiconductor sold 1.5 million shares on Oct. 22 and 23 at
prices ranging from $33.03 per share to $34.65 per share to collect $51.3 million.

The tech veteran has now sold $137.0 million in Cypress stock since 1987.

Rodgers led a spasm of selling at Cypress last month, as a total of nine insiders sold $66.4 million. Cypress closed Thursday at $36.08, up more than $10 per share since early September, and from $15.92 one year ago.
