James L. Whims

James L. Whims, listed as board member, has filed trades across 3 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in SYNAPTICS Inc, THQ Inc and PortalPlayer, Inc. The record holds 100 filings, for trades running from 15 February 2006 to 1 November 2024.

The open-market side counts 5 purchases for €120k alongside 48 sales for €15.1M. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €15.0M. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Other entries cover 16 share grants and 31 option exercises.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €19k.

The newest entry dates from 4 November 2024: a share grant, in SYNAPTICS Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (31 January 2008) now reads 6,841 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
