About this page
Insider trades reported on SEC Form 4: when the people who run a company buy or sell its shares with their own money.
How to read it
- Form 4
- The form a company insider (officer, director or owner of more than 10%) must file with the SEC within two business days of buying or selling the company's shares.
- Buy (P) and Sell (S)
- Open-market purchases and sales. Gifts, option exercises and automatic tax withholding are left out because they say little about what the insider thinks.
- Value
- Shares times price, as reported on the filing.
- 10b5-1
- A trade made under a plan set up in advance. Planned sales are common and usually say less than an unplanned purchase.
- Late filing
- A Form 4 filed more than two business days after the trade.
- Vs. S&P 500
- How the stock did after the trade minus how the overall market did in the same weeks.
A real example
In January 2016, when bank stocks were falling, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon bought 500,000 JPMorgan shares with his own money, worth about $26 million. His Form 4 made the purchase public within days, and investors read it as a strong sign of confidence.
Explain it like I'm 13
If the coach of a team bets his own allowance that his team will win, that tells you something. A Form 4 is the note a company boss must hand in whenever he buys or sells his own company's shares, so everyone can see it.

Reading these numbers
Insiders sell for many reasons: taxes, diversification, a house. Purchases with their own money are rarer and are usually read as more informative. A Form 4 is due within two business days of the trade. How to read a Form 4 →
