George Strayton

Both buying and selling appear: 1 purchase worth €56k, against 23 sales worth €2.7M. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €2.7M. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. The rest of the record consists of 24 share grants and 26 option exercises. Since January 2013: no purchases and 2 sales on the market.

The latest filing, published on 23 October 2013, reports a transaction in Sterling Bancorp. The clock since the last published purchase (12 November 2009) now reads 6,205 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
