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. 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.
