J. Mcdonald Williams

J. Mcdonald Williams has filed trades across 4 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in DallasNews Corp, Belo Corp and Tenet Healthcare Corp. The record holds 34 filings, for trades running from 27 February 2006 to 10 June 2010.

In open-market terms, that means 6 purchases worth €337k on one side and 9 sales worth €481k on the other. Sales outweigh purchases by €144k. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Other entries cover 6 option exercises. 2010 to date brings no purchases and 4 sales.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €40k. After 5 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 0% and the median 90-day move at -12.7%. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

The record was last updated on 11 June 2010 with an option exercise in DallasNews Corp. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 8 June 2009, 6,347 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 1 day after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
