Michael Gradon, Director of AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE:AER), sold 3,250 shares of his stock at the company today, at $45.23. Following Gradon’s sale, he now holds merely 592 shares to his name. It seems this trend is common amongst company insiders, since Director James Chapman has also been selling his stock, with the most recent sale of 2000 shares at $46.94, registered two weeks ago.
