The following are companies that have recently experienced insider trading activity in the public markets through direct and indirect ownership, including accounts controlled or directed by them.
This list contains insider trading activity; it does not convey full ownership information, as insiders may hold multiple accounts.
Keep in mind that when looking at insider trading activity, buying activity may reflect the perceived value of a security. A sale may or may not be related to stock valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise capital for personal reasons. The insider’s total holdings should be considered because if the person has a substantial remaining position in the company, the sale may be insignificant in context. When I see multiple insiders trading stock or units of a company, I tend to take insider trading activity very seriously.
