All filings by Diane L. Ford on record concern WPS Resources Corp. Between 16 January 2006 and 15 August 2012, the trades on record add up to 70 filings.

Market trades split into 1 purchase (€50) and 11 sales (€1.7M). On balance, insiders were net sellers of €1.7M. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. The rest of the record consists of 31 share grants and 25 option exercises. In 2012 alone, the filings show no purchases and 5 sales.

The record was last updated on 16 August 2012 with an option exercise (€193k) in WPS Resources Corp. The clock since the last published purchase (24 March 2008) now reads 6,803 days. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay 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.
