Context
A 10b5-1 plan allows insiders to sell predetermined amounts on a schedule and is commonly used to avoid trading on nonpublic information; sales under such plans are often routine and do not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company. Retail investors should treat confirmed purchases as stronger indicators of insider confidence than routine plan-based sales.
