$NOW said he sold stock to finance a real estate transaction.

VerityData's (our new name!) research and analysis was the basis for this story examining how insider selling behavior can be a tip off ahead of M&A announcements. You'd be surprised by what you can learn from insiders NOT selling. $HZNP $AMGN $KR $ACI $HPE $NTNX

Insider disclosures are nuanced and this is an example of someone getting it wrong. Proxy ownership disclosures are different than Form 4 disclosures. Proxies include exercisable options so investors understand potential voting power. Form 4s are transaction-oriented disclosures.
Dear @SECGov @GaryGensler you guys slapped $SMCI before for its reporting practices and demanded the CEO return money from stock sales. What's with this non-transparent sell of 500,000 shares from CEO Liang recently?

Insider buying levels in May were the best since March 2020. That's a good thing because insiders as a group have done a good job of calling market bottoms.
“Insiders have been really fabulous at calling market bottoms as a group,” @VerityPlatform Director of Research Ben Silverman says. “When there's massive insider buying, which we saw in November 2008... that's when more stocks hit all-time lows than in March 2009.”

"Because a large majority of companies report earnings in February or March, most insiders don’t have the opportunity to buy in the event of a January market swoon."
