Director offloads shares at British American Tobacco

John Daly, the COO of British American Tobacco sold around a third of his shares this week. The first quarter has been hit by overseas sales due to exchange rate movements.

Does he feel that there is a headwind for British American Tobacco or does he need to free up some cash for personal reasons? A lot is often read into directors share sales however it could be for anything in my view and whilst past history is no guarantee for the future, I feel British American Tobacco's dividend policy  is solid in recent years so I am staying put.
