James Y. Preston

James Y. Preston appears in our data through filings on Bank of Granite Corp shares, published by SEC (Form 4). We count 5 filings; the first trade dates from 2 February 2007 and the latest from 13 February 2009.

The open-market side counts 1 purchase for €3,109 alongside 2 sales for €28k. The net balance comes to €25k on the selling side. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Besides market trades, the filings include 2 option exercises. Since January 2009: 1 purchase and no sales on the market.

The newest entry dates from 13 February 2009: an open-market purchase of €3,109, in Bank of Granite Corp. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 4 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.
