Until two days ago we have been displaying the latest 15 Insider Trades for each company in Stock Research Portal’s Company Universe. The trades shown had been a mixture of open market purchase and sale transactions and non-open market transactions (such as option and warrant exercises).
We believe it important to distinguish between transactions where insiders buy and sell shares in the open market, and transactions where insiders transact in shares of their companies that are not open market transactions. This is because we think insider open market purchase and sale transactions arguably are a better test of insider views as to the value of the shares of their companies than are insider non-open market transactions. Also, from an investment point of view, we see it as ‘a positive’ where a company’s Board and Management have ‘more’ rather than ‘less’ so-called ‘real skin in the game’ – as contrasted with company’s whose Boards and Managements seem primarily to look to stock option programs as a route to acquire equity holdings in their companies.
Accordingly, as of yesterday, we are displaying on each company two insider trading tables, both of which display the latest 50 insider trades categorized between open market and non-open market transactions.
These tables are titled:
- Market Transactions Reported by Insiders; and,
- Non-Market Transactions Reported by Insiders.
If you take the time to visit www.StockResearchPortal.com today, you will see a semi-transparent overlay discussing the introduction of these two new tables. The overlay includes a link to a webpage where you can see a sample of the two new tables that now appear on our website’s Company Pages. We believe these two new tables to be important new company research features, and believe you will find them very useful and informative.
You can access our new Insider Trading Tables for each company by logging into StockResearchPortal.com, visiting any ‘Company Page’ in our site, expanding the ‘Insider/Statutory Filings’ dropdown found in the Right-hand Navigation on that Company Page, and clicking on either ‘Insider Trades – Market Transactions’ or ‘Insider Trades – Non-market Transactions’.
Clicking on either will take you to a webpage where you can access and review both tables.
We are interested in receiving your feedback on these new Insider Trades features. We also, with the re-design of StockResearchPortal.com behind us, have time to program new features. We are doing that. At the same time, the underlying push to generate the new Insider Tables we have just introduced came from one of our Subscribers. If you have suggestions for data features (economic, industry or company) that you would like us to consider adding to the website, please send your suggestions to us at any time. Your comments on our new Insider Trading tables, or suggestions for further new research features, at info@stockresearchportal.com will be appreciated.
