On Oct 17, 2025, 29 insiders at 22 companies filed 48 purchases reported on Form 4, worth $39.4M in all, with a median purchase of $6.7K. The largest was Manulife (International) Ltd, 10% owner of CIK 1742952, who reported buying 695,720 shares worth $13.0M. Officers accounted for 27 purchases, directors who are not officers for 11, and 10% owners with no board or officer role for 8. Chief executives and chief financial officers filed 13 purchases: Buffington Mark, Chief Executive Officer, Director of CIK 1950572; Fitzgerald John Taylor Maloney, President and CEO, Director of KINGSWAY Corp (KFS); Billingsley Chester, Chief Executive Officer, Director, 10% owner of Mentor Capital, Inc. (MNTR) among others. 8 companies showed cluster buying, two or more insiders buying within 7 days, among them CIK 1412502 (4 insiders), EDUC (4 insiders), CIK 1742952 (3 insiders), CHCO (3 insiders). For 2 insiders of 29, this was the first purchase of that company's stock on our record. That is more than the 37 purchases filed on Oct 16, 2025. A Form 4 is due within two business days of the trade, so most of these purchases were made earlier in the week. Code P also covers shares bought privately from the company, so one large figure can be a negotiated placement rather than buying on the exchange.
