Company insiders are senior officers of the company, members of their board of directors and those that own more than 10% of the company’s shares.

The numbers of shares these people own are public and so are their share purchases or sales of that company. 

Insiders’ buy and sell shares through in 2 ways – Form 144 and Rule 10b5.

  • Form 144 – is for a one time purchase or sale.
  • Rule 10b5- is a pre-established plan to buy or sell the company shares at a set time every month/quarter/year.  However, as the parameters are set there can be no insider trading.

For sources, see the ownership section of the finance guide.

 If using Bloomberg (not intended for research but for looking for a single stock), Ticker < Equity> and look up Management Profile and Reported Holdings or use Ticker <Equity> PHDC to get list of Insiders and Institutional Ownership
