Filings by Steven L. Watson span 5 companies, the busiest being Kronos Worldwide Inc, Titanium Metals Corp and Valhi Inc. Over a trading history stretching from 16 May 2006 to 26 May 2016, the count stands at 341 filings.

On the market, this insider has only ever bought: 286 purchases, €4.9M in total. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Other entries cover 50 share grants and 4 option exercises. So far in 2016, the count stands at 45 purchases and no sales.

Half of the purchases are above €14k and half below. 12 out of 45 purchases came within 30 days of a purchase by at least one other insider of the same company. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. Looking at 257 purchases old enough to measure, the stock rose over the following 90 days in 58% of cases; the median change was +4.8%. These figures describe past trades and do not predict future prices.

On 2 June 2016 came the latest disclosure, a share grant in Valhi Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (28 January 2016) now reads 3,937 days. 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. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
