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 8 share grants and 7 option exercises.

Most recently, on 27 December 2012, the filings show a transaction worth €2.2M in Amerigroup Corp. The last insider purchase was made public on 29 October 2008, 6,568 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. 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.
