Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.<\/p>\n
The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock\u2019s valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider\u2019s total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company\u2019s shares or units.<\/p>\n
