Form 4 (Insider Trading Filing)

A Form 4 is the SEC filing that officers, directors, and large shareholders must submit within two business days of buying or selling their company's stock. Tracking Form 4 filings across a universe of stocks is a common way to spot clusters of insider buying - often read as a vote of confidence from the people who know the business best.
