Charles E. Niemier is a declared insider at 2 companies; the most frequent names are Lakeland Financial Corp and Biomet Inc. The record holds 206 filings, for trades running from 16 December 2005 to 6 February 2017.

Market trades split into 158 purchases (€1.2M) and 12 sales (€127k). The net balance comes to €1.1M on the buying side. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Outside the open market, there are 16 share grants and 11 option exercises. Since January 2017: 4 purchases and no sales on the market.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €1,144. On 4 out of 16 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. After 136 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 58% and the median 90-day move at +1.7%. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

Most recently, on 8 February 2017, the filings show an open-market purchase worth €1,199 in Lakeland Financial Corp. Typically, a trade is published a median of 1 day after it takes place. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
