In open-market terms, that means 1 purchase worth €9,197 on one side and 9 sales worth €127k on the other. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €118k. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. The rest of the record consists of 4 share grants and 1 option exercise.

Most recently, on 16 December 2011, the filings show a share grant worth €4,718 in Sigma Designs Inc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 6,699 days ago, on 7 July 2008. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
