Pinterest's former CFO sold 60,705 shares, Costco's director sold 1,565 shares, Airbnb's director sold 516,667 shares, and Yelp's COO sold 6,000 shares. These sales could indicate concerns about the companies' prospects or that the insiders view the stocks as overpriced. However, insider sales should not be the sole indicator for investment decisions.
