In open-market terms, that means 1 purchase worth €51k on one side and 34 sales worth €6.0M on the other. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €6.0M. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Besides market trades, the filings include 21 share grants and 7 option exercises. In 2011 alone, the filings show no purchases and 3 sales.

The newest entry dates from 18 November 2011: an open-market sale of €297k, in Howmet Aerospace Inc. The last purchase on record was published on 7 February 2006, which is 7,579 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
