What changed in the last 30 days
Sep 30Director Chard Daniel R sold $226.3K under a 10b5-1 plan (2 trades, Sep 28 to Sep 29)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Sep 29Officer Chard Daniel R filed to sell $112.0K by Sep 29 (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.
