Richard H. Smith

This profile gathers the share dealings of Richard H. Smith in First Mercury Financial Corp. The record holds 30 filings, for trades running from 17 October 2006 to 9 February 2011.

Both buying and selling appear: 6 purchases worth €1.2M, against 14 sales worth €2.6M. No amount is published for 1 filing, which the totals therefore leave out. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. The rest of the record consists of 6 option exercises.

Half of the purchases are above €162k and half below.

The latest filing, published on 10 February 2011, reports a transaction in First Mercury Financial Corp. The last insider purchase was made public on 13 March 2008, 6,799 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. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
