How to read this. Insiders sell for many reasons: taxes, diversifying, a house. Open-market buys are rarer and say more. A 10b5-1 plan is a trading schedule set up months in advance, so those sales were not timed on news. Large holders (funds and 10% owners) are listed under Everything but not counted as insiders. If you own or watch BKE, we send a push when an executive buys or makes a large sale outside a plan.
