Regal Partners (ASX:RPL) CEO Brendan O’Connor was at the ASX Small Midcap conference on Wednesday, immaculately togged up and earnestly lecturing Sydney’s grey-haired set on what a great investment is RPL. A day later we learn he has cashed in $3m worth of shares.  

Sure, there are no doubt good reasons why he did this as I am sure Brendan could tell you. And he has every right to do what he likes with his shares and money, but its hard to have much respect for knobs like Brendan on many levels. And its not like he is a rarity in ASX land.
