What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 20President & CEO Dragisich Dominic sold $137.4K under a 10b5-1 plan (Oct 20)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 20Officer DOMINIC DRAGISICH filed to sell $134.5K by Oct 20 (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.
