About InsiderHound
InsiderHound helps individual investors see what corporate insiders are buying and selling, using the Form 4 filings they must send to the SEC, explained in plain English and linked to the original filing.
Why this site exists
When an officer, director or large shareholder trades their company’s stock, the trade becomes public on SEC EDGAR within days. The data is free, but it is easy to misread: transaction codes, footnotes, two different dates and amended filings make it simple to mistake a tax withholding for a sale or an old trade for a new one. We built InsiderHound around four rules:
- Purchases and sales are never mixed up. Every trade says what kind of transaction it is, in words and not only in color.
- Every trade has two dates. When the shares changed hands and when the SEC received the filing.
- Every number has a source. Reports link to the original Form 4 on SEC EDGAR.
- Every report says what the data can’t tell you. A filing shows what an insider did, not why.
What we cover
- Reports on notable insider purchases, insider sales and cluster buys.
- Guides that explain Form 4, its transaction codes and the rules behind the data, citing SEC sources.
- Our methodology, which explains how every figure is calculated.
We do not provide stock ratings, price targets or personalized advice.
