This profile gathers the share dealings of William R. Mclaughlin in Sleep Number Corp. We count 328 filings; the first trade dates from 6 February 2006 and the latest from 1 June 2012.

The open-market side counts 9 purchases for €89k alongside 258 sales for €9.5M. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €9.4M. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Other entries cover 21 share grants and 27 option exercises. So far in 2012, the count stands at no purchases and 16 sales.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €5,652. For 8 purchases whose 90-day window has closed, the share price was higher on day 90 than the day after publication in 88% of cases, with a median move of +29.2%. Past outcomes like these are no guarantee of what comes next.

On 5 June 2012 came the latest disclosure, a transaction in Sleep Number Corp. The clock since the last published purchase (1 March 2010) now reads 6,096 days. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
