In open-market terms, that means 7 purchases worth €69k on one side and 38 sales worth €1.5M on the other. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €1.4M. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. The rest of the record consists of 61 share grants and 5 option exercises. So far in 2016, the count stands at no purchases and 5 sales.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €7,651.

The latest filing, published on 16 November 2016, reports an open-market sale of €119k in Itron, Inc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 5,490 days ago, on 28 October 2011. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 1 day. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
