Context
- These reports come from a 10% owner/institutional group (Fairfax) and an associated controlling person (Prem Watsa), not from an unaffiliated company executive. That typically means the trades reflect institutional activity rather than routine insider compensation or option exercises.
- All transactions are purchases (P). No option exercises, gifts, or sales are reported here.
