Matthew Foster discloses dealings in Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. to SEC (Form 4). Between 11 July 2006 and 20 February 2008, the trades on record add up to 60 filings.

In open-market terms, that means 7 purchases worth €39k on one side and 46 sales worth €280k on the other. Netting one side against the other leaves €241k of net selling. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. The rest of the record consists of 1 share grant and 6 option exercises. 2008 to date brings no purchases and 21 sales.

Half of the purchases are above €3,791 and half below.

The record was last updated on 21 February 2008 with an open-market sale (€2,110) in Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (25 September 2006) now reads 7,349 days. 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.
