Context
Sales executed under 10b5-1 plans are pre-arranged and commonly used to provide pre-authorized liquidity; they limit what can be inferred about the insider’s view of the company. For retail investors, purchases generally carry more informational weight than routine sales, but tracking insider activity over time can still be useful.
