Several of a certain bank's top executives have recently been purchasing shares in their own bank. This activity has occasioned some surprise, since it is widely believed that the bank, carrying a large number of bad loans, is on the brink of collapse. Since the executives are well placed to know their bank's true condition, it might seem that their share purchases show that the danger of collapse is exaggerated. However, the available information about the bank's condition is from reliable and informed sources, and corporate executives do sometimes buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to calm worries about their company's condition. On balance, therefore, it is likely that the executives of the bank are following this example.

注意分清conclusion 和 main conclusion, 文章最后一句也就是bf2肯定是main conclusion, 1. therefore关键词 ； 2. 文章的重心是解释为什么银行会这么做，而不是要讨论这个银行的状况究竟如何，是存是亡，所以最后一句就是总结论--银行这么做不过是在效仿之前的例子（为了消除民众担忧）。
