Summary

  • Tables of the top insider purchases and sales filed with the SEC on Friday, June 27, 2014, based on dollar value.
  • Dollar values often do not equate with significance when it comes to insider trades.
  • Proprietary Insider Company Ratings given for selected companies.

I cannot repeat enough that dollar value is only one metric to assess the significance of an insider transaction. InsiderInsights calculates Insider Filer Statistics in real time, and formulates Insider Company Ratings based on numerous behavioral factors, so our clients can separate real investment intelligence from time-wasting noise.

On Today's Tables:

Insider trades were rated Significant at:

  • MVC Capital (MVC);
  • Republic Services (RSG), and;
  • Royce Focus Trust (FUND).

Insider trades were rated Nearly Significant at:

  • Heron Therapeutics (HRTX);
  • Ark Restaurants (ARKR);
  • Valhi (VHI), and;
  • Zulily (ZU).

Insider trades were considered Insignificant at:

  • McGraw-Hill Companies (MHFI);
  • Emerge Energy Svs LP (EMES);
  • Dynegy (DYN), and;
  • Salesforce.com (CRM).

Insider transactions at Eclipse Resources (ECR) were associated with recent IPOs, and it's difficult to garner investment intelligence from transactions by insiders in unseasoned shares.
