Robert J. Laikin

Robert J. Laikin, listed as chief executive, has filed trades across 4 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in Brightpoint Inc, Washington Prime Group Inc. and AppHarvest, Inc. In total, 171 filings cover trades dated from 3 January 2006 to 11 February 2022.

In open-market terms, that means 24 purchases worth €1.4M on one side and 54 sales worth €20.2M on the other. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €18.8M. 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 29 share grants and 52 option exercises.

Half of the purchases are above €27k and half below. 6 out of 11 purchases came within 30 days of a purchase by at least one other insider of the same company. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase.

On 11 February 2022 came the latest disclosure, an option exercise in Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. The last insider purchase was made public on 9 March 2020, 2,420 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. 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.
