The open-market side counts 22 purchases for €357k alongside 29 sales for €314k. Taken together, the purchases exceed the sales by €43k. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The rest of the record consists of 25 share grants and 10 option exercises.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €9,559. Ninety days after publication, 10 purchases show a median change of +2.4%, with the price up in 60% of them. These figures describe past trades and do not predict future prices.

On 15 December 2016 came the latest disclosure, a transaction for €24k in RLI Corp. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 7 February 2012, 5,372 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 1 day. 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. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
