An insider trade occurs when an individual that has non-public information about a company buys or sells shares of that company's stock. Examples of people who would be considered insiders include a company's executive officers (CEO, CFO, COO), its board of directors, and its major shareholders. Insiders are required to submit their trading activity to the Securities and Exchange Commission through Form 4 filings. Tracking a company's insider trading activity is an effective way to identify management's true outlook on the company's future growth and prospects.
