What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 21President Flat Rolled Stl Proc Larivey Clifford sold $1.1M under a 10b5-1 plan (5 trades, Oct 6 to Oct 19)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 6Officer CLIFFORD LARIVEY filed to sell $1.0M by Oct 6 (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.
