James A. Thomas

James A. Thomas has filed trades across 2 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in UIL Holdings Corp and People's United Financial, Inc. Over a trading history stretching from 8 May 2006 to 27 October 2011, the count stands at 27 filings.

The open-market side counts 1 purchase for €155k alongside 16 sales for €553k. Netting one side against the other leaves €398k of net selling. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Outside the open market, there are 8 share grants and 2 option exercises. In 2011 alone, the filings show no purchases and 2 sales.

Most recently, on 27 October 2011, the filings show an open-market sale worth €52k in People's United Financial, Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (18 April 2007) now reads 7,145 days. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
