Research Disclosed Insider Transactions
Ask about reported insider purchases, sales, or other ownership changes. Pineify queries connected data providers. Inspect the source filing and transaction code before interpreting the activity; a disclosed trade does not establish motive or predict a stock’s direction.
Read the transaction before inferring conviction
This workflow concerns public ownership disclosures, not access to nonpublic information. A record may represent a purchase, sale, award, exercise, gift, or tax-related withholding. Acquisition does not always mean an open-market purchase. Keep transaction date separate from filing date and distinguish direct from indirect ownership. Read footnotes and amendments before attributing a transaction to a person’s discretionary decision.
How It Works
- 1
Choose a ticker or supported owner, sector, transaction-code, and date filters. State whether the date window means trading or filing activity.
- 2
The agent requests supported provider records. Check pagination, grouping, and the returned sample before describing activity as complete.
- 3
Inspect transaction codes, owner roles, share counts, price fields, ownership type, and source links where available. A missing price is not a zero-cost trade.
- 4
Open the original filing to check footnotes, amendments, and transaction context. Provider data may normalize fields or lag the filing.
- 5
If looking for multiple buyers, define the time window, eligible codes, and distinct-owner rule. Review duplicates; there is no promised built-in three-insider/30-day detection rule.
Separate retrieval, source verification, and interpretation
| Feature | Pineify Finance Agent | Original filing | Research worksheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Role | Find supported provider records | Check reported transaction details and footnotes | Track filters, exclusions, and deduplication |
| Coverage | Bounded and potentially cached results | One filing and its amendments | Only the records you actually reviewed |
| Interpretation | Ask follow-up questions | Disclosure does not establish motive | Record hypotheses separately from evidence |
Example Research Tasks
Review purchases for a company
Example question
“Show recent reported purchases for this ticker and identify the transaction codes.”
Illustrative response
Check that the records match the intended purchase definition. Retain owners, dates, available prices, and source references; do not invent a count or dollar total.
Examine several reported buyers
Example question
“Do these retrieved records show multiple distinct people buying during this period?”
Illustrative response
Define the window and codes, remove duplicate or amended records, and state coverage. Multiple records are not automatically multiple independent investment decisions.
Compare activity around earnings
Example question
“Compare these transaction dates with the company’s published earnings date.”
Illustrative response
Use the verified event date and original filings. Temporal proximity alone does not prove access to nonpublic information or illegal conduct.
