Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro, recently bought 10,000 shares of Hasbro worth $448,500. Things must look bright at Hasbro. does the future look bright for GI Joe? On other related news, RI approved Hasbro's tax breaks for expansion in RI. Let's just hope they can ramp up SDCC production across the board.

I would have figured he would have already had shares as part of his CEO compensation package.
Hell, as a CEO, his compensation should be directly proportional to how the stock is doing. It goes up, he makes more. It goes down, he makes less. Better running of the company through incentive. But yeah, that's not how things are done in the real world, lol.

Maybe there is a buyout threat imminent and he's stashing them for that day? I guess that would be insider trading though.

Goldner himself has been lauded as one of the better CEO's in America of late, having kept Hasbro profitable and even growing through rough economic times. And as Xenos mentioned, Goldner is not afraid to take short-term risks (see: The creation of the Hub network) for longer-term gain. In fact, Goldner's willingness to make Hasbro "branch out" as more of a multi-media company is one of the reasons he's admired, from my understanding. None of this really directly affects G.I. Joe as a brand though...Hasbro as a company can be doing great even if Joe is still kinda down in the dumps. As we all already know, the next big "push" for Joe will be when the movie sequel arrives.

Yeah. I know the popular opinion around here is to hate on "hasblow" and they can't do anything right but the facts show that they know what they are doing.

He's prepping to cash in on the the next TF movie. Once the movie comes out stocks will get a hefty bump in price, then he sells.

Maybe the CEO is raising stock holder confidence? The HUB is a major turnning point for them as a company.
