Executives and directors must disclose their own trades in company stock. Of the last 6 disclosed transactions we hold for Boeing, 1 was a sale and 2 were open-market purchases; the other 3 were awards, vesting or option exercises rather than a decision to buy or sell. Insiders sell for many ordinary reasons — scheduled plans, tax, diversification — so a sale is not by itself a signal.
