What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 16EVP & CLO Stark Wendy E sold $189.8K under a 10b5-1 plan (Oct 15)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 15Officer Stark Wendy E filed to sell $189.8K by Oct 15 (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.
