Margaret D. Kirkpatrick

Margaret D. Kirkpatrick discloses dealings in Northwest Natural Gas Co to SEC (Form 4). Between 19 February 2008 and 19 November 2015, the trades on record add up to 31 filings.

The open-market side counts 4 purchases for €59k alongside 5 sales for €464k. Sales outweigh purchases by €405k. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Besides market trades, the filings include 20 share grants and 2 option exercises. So far in 2015, the count stands at no purchases and 2 sales.

Half of the purchases are above €3,979 and half below. Looking at 4 purchases old enough to measure, the stock rose over the following 90 days in 75% of cases; the median change was +8.7%. Past outcomes like these are no guarantee of what comes next.

On 23 November 2015 came the latest disclosure, an open-market sale for €223k in Northwest Natural Gas Co. The last purchase on record was published on 5 March 2009, which is 6,458 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
