The latest filing, published on 13 May 2013, reports a share grant in Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 6,709 days ago, on 11 June 2008. Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 1 day after the trade. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
