William P. Carey

Filings by William P. Carey span 6 companies, the busiest being W. P. Carey Inc., Corporate Property Associates 16 Global Inc and Corporate Property Associates 14 Inc. In total, 557 filings cover trades dated from 15 December 1997 to 23 December 2011.

In open-market terms, that means 28 purchases worth €6.0M on one side and 3 sales worth €3.2M on the other. Taken together, the purchases exceed the sales by €2.8M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Besides market trades, the filings include 320 share grants and 1 option exercise.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €86k. After 26 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 73% and the median 90-day move at +2.8%. These figures describe past trades and do not predict future prices.

On 23 January 2012 came the latest disclosure, a transaction in W. P. Carey Inc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 5,983 days ago, on 7 June 2010. Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 2 days after the trade. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
