Filings by Javan D. Ottoson span 2 companies, the busiest being SM Energy Co and Energy Partners Ltd. In total, 141 filings cover trades dated from 17 April 2006 to 1 July 2020.

Every open-market trade on record is a purchase: 11 purchases worth €365k, and no sale. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Besides market trades, the filings include 51 share grants and 50 option exercises. Since January 2020: 1 purchase and no sales on the market.

Half of the purchases are above €19k and half below. 6 out of 10 purchases came within 30 days of a purchase by at least one other insider of the same company. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. For 11 purchases whose 90-day window has closed, the share price was higher on day 90 than the day after publication in 55% of cases, with a median move of +4.2%. They describe history only and say nothing certain about the share price ahead.

The record was last updated on 6 July 2020 with an option exercise in SM Energy Co. The last purchase on record was published on 5 March 2020, which is 2,439 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 3 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
