Filings by Thomas A. Lacey span 8 companies, the busiest being International Rectifier Corp /DE/, Tessera Technologies Inc and International Displayworks, Inc. We count 118 filings; the first trade dates from 26 October 2006 and the latest from 2 December 2021.

In open-market terms, that means 9 purchases worth €325k on one side and 34 sales worth €10.6M on the other. The net balance comes to €10.2M on the selling side. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Outside the open market, there are 45 share grants and 21 option exercises.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €39k. On 2 out of 4 purchases, another insider of the same company was buying within the same 30 days. Purchases made close together by different insiders form what is called a cluster.

The latest filing, published on 2 December 2021, reports a transaction of €1.9M in DSP Group Inc. The last purchase on record was published on 3 March 2020, which is 2,425 days ago. 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. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
