W. Brian Mcgowan

W. Brian Mcgowan is a declared insider of W R Grace & Co, with filings sourced from SEC (Form 4). The record holds 11 filings, for trades running from 20 February 2007 to 14 February 2011.

Both buying and selling appear: 1 purchase worth €61k, against 5 sales worth €2.2M. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €2.1M. 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 5 option exercises. Since January 2011: no purchases and 1 sale on the market.

Most recently, on 15 February 2011, the filings show an open-market sale worth €350k in W R Grace & Co. The clock since the last published purchase (3 December 2008) now reads 6,550 days. Typically, a trade is published a median of 1 day after it takes place. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
