What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 27Insider selling stopped: no sales in 90 days after 3 in the prior 90
Why it matters
The absence is the signal: 3 sales in one 90-day window and none in the next is a change of behaviour, not a filing.
Oct 7Rep. Josh Gottheimer sold $1.0K to $15K, disclosed 12 days after the trade
Why it matters
House members report a bracket, not an exact amount, and have 45 days to do it; the trade is weeks old when it becomes public.
