Market trades split into 6 purchases (€38k) and 173 sales (€35.8M). Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €35.7M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. The rest of the record consists of 4 share grants. So far in 2008, the count stands at 5 purchases and no sales.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €4,475.

The record was last updated on 4 December 2008 with an open-market purchase (€7,997) in United Fuel & Energy Corp. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
