F. Justin Strickland discloses dealings in Southern First Bancshares Inc to SEC (Form 4). Between 11 January 2007 and 12 November 2019, the trades on record add up to 111 filings.

On the open market, the record shows 26 purchases worth €122k and 66 sales worth €2.6M. Netting one side against the other leaves €2.5M of net selling. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Outside the open market, there are 6 share grants and 13 option exercises. So far in 2019, the count stands at no purchases and 24 sales.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €2,428. Ninety days after publication, 26 purchases show a median change of +10.2%, with the price up in 65% of them. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

The latest filing, published on 13 November 2019, reports an open-market sale of €23k in Southern First Bancshares Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (29 April 2013) now reads 4,941 days. 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. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
