James R. Seward

James R. Seward has filed trades across 3 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in Brookdale Senior Living Inc., Syntroleum Corp and American Retirement Corp. The record holds 42 filings, for trades running from 1 January 2006 to 19 February 2019.

The open-market side counts 12 purchases for €707k alongside 4 sales for €1.6M. The net balance comes to €860k 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. The rest of the record consists of 25 share grants. In 2019 alone, the filings show 1 purchase and no sales.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €42k. On 6 out of 6 purchases, another insider of the same company was buying within the same 30 days. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. For 11 purchases whose 90-day window has closed, the share price was higher on day 90 than the day after publication in 91% of cases, with a median move of +19.4%. These figures describe past trades and do not predict future prices.

Most recently, on 20 February 2019, the filings show an open-market purchase worth €63k in Brookdale Senior Living Inc. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
