What is a Form 4?

When a corporate insider — an officer, director, or 10%+ owner — buys or sells their own company's stock, U.S. law requires them to report it to the SEC within two business days on a Form 4. These filings are public. Most people never read them. We read all of them.

How the pipeline works

Scan. Every day we pull every Form 4 filed with the SEC — all of them, not a curated subset.

Filter. Sells are usually noise (taxes, diversification, scheduled plans). Open-market buys with the insider's own money are the signal we care about.

Verify. Everything we post links back to the original filing on sec.gov. No summaries without receipts.

Post. Plain English on @followfilings: who bought, what role they hold, how much of their own money they spent.

Track. Every call goes in the Ledger with the price at post time and the price since — including the losers. If a call goes against us, it stays on the board.

Why we don't give advice

We are not advisors and we don't pretend to be. An insider buying is one data point, not a recommendation. We show you what happened, link the source, and track how it played out. What you do with that is your decision.

“Insiders sell for a hundred reasons. They only buy for one.”
