Since January 2015: 1 purchase and 5 sales on the market.

Most recently, on 2 November 2015, the filings show an option exercise in Cepheid. The last insider purchase was made public on 27 August 2015, 4,091 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. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
