Steven Bate appears in our data through filings on ION Geophysical Corp shares, published by SEC (Form 4). Over a trading history stretching from 1 June 2013 to 1 March 2019, the count stands at 33 filings.

Market trades split into 5 purchases (€613k) and 6 sales (€339k). On balance, insiders were net buyers of €274k. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Besides market trades, the filings include 14 share grants and 7 option exercises.

The median purchase comes to €60k. 4 out of 4 purchases came within 30 days of a purchase by at least one other insider of the same company. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase.

The record was last updated on 5 March 2019 with a share grant (€38k) in ION Geophysical Corp. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 19 December 2017, 3,247 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. 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. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
