Context

• Sales by executives are common for diversification, tax, or personal-liquidity reasons; they are not as strongly indicative of insider sentiment as purchases. For retail investors, purchases by insiders often carry clearer signaling value, but monitoring patterns (frequency, size, timing) of insider sales can still be useful.
