Long Weekend Homework - Happy Easter

Long weekends make us all a bit stir crazy when it comes to our investments or trades. There are so many factors that can impact the world markets which makes for uneasiness with many of our positions. Either way, I hope that the long weekend fares well for the sake of our uncertainty. After all, there is nothing we can do about it until the market reopens on Monday. That being said, I hope that everyone has a peaceful & Happy Easter weekend.

Just because the markets were closed on Good Friday, March 25, 2016, does not mean that forms filed from days prior do not still push through. They still do & in my opinion, these are the most stealth forms because the come on a day where nobody is looking. Here are the few that I caught: 

13D's (from 3/25/16): TCFC, ULGX, INAP, TRVY (2), INAP, IESC, ULGX, KOOL, AVTD, GPCM, RICE, TMPS, SPPR, EPI (2), INNV, AM, PTGI, FMD & PFSW

13G's (from 3/25/16): PSG

Form 4's (Insider Buys from 3/25/16): OVAS (2), FLKS, CSGS (4) & GMRE (2)

Form 4's (Insider Sales from 3/25/16): ZAYO, DXCM, SHAK, FNF, QCOM, PFPT, VEEV, HD (3), LB, AGNC, ABMD (2) & PE.

From what I gathered, the largest insider buys via Form 4's were for Global Medical REIT (GMRE) purchasing $35,864,074 worth of shares on Thursday & about the same on Friday. The second largest buy via From 4 on Thursday was for Mattress Firm (MFRM) totaling $26,208,267 worth of shares. The CFO's who were purchasing shares of the company they work for only go to EXCC & CSGS for both days. I'm going to pay extra close attention to the forms that pushed through on Friday; especially the ones that repeat from Thursday.

On the sale side, the largest sale on a Form 4 goes to Larry Page (co-founder of Google) of his Alphabet (GOOG) shares selling $50,042,104 worth of his stock. The second highest with multiple sellers via Form 4's was for Pepco Holdings (POM) totaling $45,771,248 worth of their shares. I also wanted to add an honorable mention for Vera Bradley (VRA) with insiders selling $21,209,694 worth of their shares. The CFO's who were selling shares over the course of the two days’ work for: DCO, LOCK, IART, HD, SPPI, TECD, FIX, QCOM, CMN, YUME, BFAM & POM.

I hope that this helps & enjoy the rest of your weekend!
