I though Nat sold most of Ask Jeeves at its peak in late 1999 or 2000, before it crashed to next to nothing: it was less than $1 in Oct 2001 as well as many months in 2002. By selling it befoe it crashed, he had some bucks. If he had held onto it, it would have been next to worthless for the past 3-4 years. I assume that his current holdings are small -- that he held on to just a bit for "old times sake". Is my understanding incorrect? I dont have access to the actual filings on your link. Do you? Do you have evidence that Nat's current holdings of AJ are substantial? How many shares? Currently ASKJ is 27.8 up from 24 on Friday. A small jump given the acquisition news.
