P. Anthony Ridder

P. Anthony Ridder has filed trades across 3 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in McClatchy Co, Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Knight Ridder Inc. Between 27 June 2006 and 26 January 2010, the trades on record add up to 112 filings.

In open-market terms, that means 1 purchase worth €49k on one side and 99 sales worth €2.5M on the other. Netting one side against the other leaves €2.4M of net selling. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Other entries cover 6 share grants.

The latest filing, published on 27 January 2010, reports a transaction in Sun Microsystems, Inc. The last purchase on record was published on 15 February 2007, which is 7,190 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 4 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
