When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company’s equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction. A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise. On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors. ### Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes Investors prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A **P** in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while **S** indicates a sale. Transaction code **C** indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code **A** indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.
