Google co-founders Sergey Brin, Larry Page plan big stock sale

GoogleGoogle’s two co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are going to cash out a large block of their company stock.

Google said Friday that Brin and Page each plan to gradually sell about 5 million shares of stock, “as part of their respective long-term strategies for individual asset diversification and liquidity,” according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
