Context
Insider sales can reflect many reasons (diversification, tax planning, liquidity needs) and are not, by themselves, definitive indicators of company prospects. For retail investors, purchases typically carry clearer positive signal than routine sales. If you track insider activity for investment decisions, watch for patterns (multiple insiders selling or large dispositions) and combine with company fundamentals and news.
