What it does
Recent insider transactions — officers, directors, and >10% owners buying or selling their own company's stock, reported to the SEC within 2 business days of the trade. Covers Forms 3, 4, and 5. Decodes each transaction's SEC code (P=open market purchase, S=open market sale, M=option/RSU exercise, F=tax withholding, A=grant/award, etc.) and includes a buy/sell summary. Scoped to Forms 3/4/5 only — this does NOT cover institutional 13F holdings or >5% beneficial ownership (13D/13G).
Transaction records, decoded transaction types, reporting context, and a buy/sell summary where available.
