Dennis M. O'Hara

Dennis M. O'Hara discloses dealings in Midwest Banc Holdings Inc to SEC (Form 4). Over a trading history stretching from 1 October 2007 to 15 December 2008, the count stands at 10 filings.

In open-market terms, that means 2 purchases worth €26k on one side and 7 sales worth €4,169 on the other. Taken together, the purchases exceed the sales by €22k. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. So far in 2008, the count stands at no purchases and 7 sales.

On 17 December 2008 came the latest disclosure, an open-market sale for €754 in Midwest Banc Holdings Inc. The last insider purchase was made public on 13 November 2007, 6,936 days ago. Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 2 days after the trade. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
