U.K. Insider Trading Activity on 12/6/2019
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, its board of directors, and its major shareholders. Tracking a company's insider trades is a metric that can be used to identify the direction that the company's executives believe that the company is headed. For example, if many insiders purchase more shares of a company, they may think that the company will have strong future earnings and that the share price will increase in the near future.
