Anthony R. Moore appears in our data through filings on Equus Total Return, Inc. shares, published by SEC (Form 4). In total, 20 filings cover trades dated from 30 December 2005 to 3 August 2009.

In open-market terms, that means 3 purchases worth €7.4M on one side and 17 sales worth €4.4M on the other. The totals do not cover 1 filing with an undisclosed amount. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. In 2009 alone, the filings show no purchases and 13 sales.

The median purchase comes to €1.9M. After 3 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 0% and the median 90-day move at -13.6%. They describe history only and say nothing certain about the share price ahead.

On 4 August 2009 came the latest disclosure, an open-market sale for €1.2M in Equus Total Return, Inc. The last purchase on record was published on 24 February 2006, which is 7,563 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 5 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
