Jeffrey E. Epstein

Jeffrey E. Epstein discloses dealings in 7 companies, chiefly Booking Holdings Inc., Shutterstock, Inc. and Oracle Corp. The record holds 134 filings, for trades running from 30 January 2006 to 4 June 2020.

The open-market side counts 4 purchases for €145k alongside 73 sales for €15.0M. Netting one side against the other leaves €14.8M of net selling. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. The rest of the record consists of 33 share grants and 10 option exercises.

Half of the purchases are above €26k and half below. Ninety days after publication, 4 purchases show a median change of +2.5%, with the price up in 75% of them. They describe history only and say nothing certain about the share price ahead.

On 8 June 2020 came the latest disclosure, a share grant in Shutterstock, Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (12 October 2012) now reads 5,125 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. 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.
