Context
- Sales under Rule 10b5‑1 plans are pre‑arranged and often routine; they do not by themselves indicate the insider’s view of the company’s prospects.
- For retail investors, purchases by insiders are generally more informative than scheduled sales; these transactions match a planned disposition under a trading plan rather than an ad‑hoc sale.
