The latest filing, published on 26 March 2010, reports an open-market sale of €1.6M in World Heart Corp. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 6,059 days ago, on 22 March 2010. Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 2 days after the trade. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
