Who is considered an insider?

Insiders are directors, officers or 10% owners of public companies.

Where does the data come from?

The data comes from Form 4s filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

What regulations govern insiders?

Insider transaction reporting, also known as Ownership reports is governed, in generally, by Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Section 403 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 amended Section 16 in several ways. One change shortened the reporting period, requiring insiders to report transactions by the end of the second business day following the transaction. Another change mandates that all such reports be filed electronically.

What information does InsiderScoop provide?

InsiderScoop extracts relevant data from Table 1 of Form 4s filed with the SEC. This data provides information about non-derivative securities acquired, disposed of, or beneficially owned. Specifically, InsiderScoop extracts:

- Transaction date

- Company name

- Ticker symbol

- Insider name

- Insider relationship

- Number of shares

- Price per share

- Total transaction amount

- Shares held following the transaction

 

How far back does the data go?

For Form 4s filed electronically, the data extends back to 1996. For paper filings, the data begins in Q2 2003.

Where do I see no results for some companies?

Generally, if there are no results for a given company that means the forms were filed before 2003 and were not filed electronically.

How are the Top Buy-Sell tables compiled?

The Top Buy-Sell tables reflect the largest buys and sells based on the total transaction amount for a given company on a given day. For premium subscribers, these tables are updated in real-time. For basic subscribers, they are updated at the end of the day. NOTE: These tables do not represent a recommended buy-sell list.

What do the company names in the Top Buy-Sell tables link to?

When you click on a company name in Buy-Sell tables, you can see the insider transaction history for that particular company.

What do the charts show?

InsiderScoop provides two types of charts: a Buy-Sell Percentage chart and Monthly Buy-Sell Transaction charts. All charts are updated weekly. The Buy-Sell Percentage chart shows the ratio of buying to selling in comparison to the corresponding performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Monthly Buy-Sell Transaction charts compare the total buy and sell transaction amount for the past quarter. Week by week comparisons are available in the archived monthly charts.

Why am I asked to upgrade when I click the Daily Filings link?

Updated in real-time, daily filings are only available to premium subscribers.

Why am I asked to upgrade when I click the Alerts link?

E-mail alerts are only available with a premium subscription. Premium subscribers can track insider activity for selected companies and receive alerts in real-time.

What types of searches are possible?

To find filings submitted by a specific company, type the company name ticker symbol in the search box. If you don't know the ticker symbol, type as much of the company name as possible, select Ticker Lookup and then click the Search button. If multiple matches are found, InsiderScoop will generate a suggestion box. Click on the company you are looking for to view insider transactions for that company.
