Oct 26Chief Innov. & Tech Officer Kenigsberg James sold $59.9K under a 10b5-1 plan (Oct 22)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 22Officer Kenigsberg James filed to sell $59.9K by Oct 22 (Form 144)
Why it matters
A Form 144 is a notice of intent to sell; the sale may not happen, and it says nothing about the price.
