William M. Sams

William M. Sams discloses dealings in 4 companies, chiefly Unifi Inc, Americas Carmart Inc and VA Software Corp. Between 8 September 2006 and 20 December 2013, the trades on record add up to 144 filings.

In open-market terms, that means 120 purchases worth €9.0M on one side and 20 sales worth €30.7M on the other. The net balance comes to €21.7M on the selling side. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. The rest of the record consists of 3 share grants. So far in 2013, the count stands at no purchases and 5 sales.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €4,238. Looking at 111 purchases old enough to measure, the stock rose over the following 90 days in 95% of cases; the median change was +22.6%. Past outcomes like these are no guarantee of what comes next.

Most recently, on 20 December 2013, the filings show an open-market sale worth €543k in Americas Carmart Inc. The last purchase on record was published on 26 August 2010, which is 5,903 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
