Context
- Sales made under a 10b5‑1 plan are pre‑set instructions and are often routine liquidity events; they do not necessarily reflect the insider’s current view of the company.
- For retail investors, purchases typically signal stronger insider conviction than planned sales; these transactions should be viewed as disposals consistent with a pre‑arranged plan rather than an ad‑hoc market timing move.
