M/I Homes CEO sells 65,000 shares

NEW YORK Aug 18 (Reuters) - Robert Schottenstein, chief executive of home builder M/I Homes Inc (MHO.N), the No. 19 U.S. home builder, sold 65,000 shares of company stock between Aug. 12 and 15 for proceeds of about $1 million, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

"There's long been a sell bias at the company," said Ben Silverman of filing tracking site InsiderScore.com. "I think at this point any insider sales in the home building sector are a negative sign."
