Market trades split into 7 purchases (€15k) and 13 sales (€518k). Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €503k. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Other entries cover 12 share grants and 20 option exercises. In 2014 alone, the filings show no purchases and 1 sale.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €1,290.

The newest entry dates from 17 March 2014: an option exercise of €12k, in Onto Innovation Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (18 April 2011) now reads 5,668 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 3 days. 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. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
