This page joins two Massive endpoints: Form 4 filings and daily prices. Ask an agent to watch for new filings:
Using the Massive API (massive.com/docs/llms.txt), check Form 4 filings for CAT every day with transaction_code=P and tell me when an insider files an open-market purchase, with their role, shares, price and the filing link.
How to read this page
- Open-market purchase or sale
- A buy or sell of the company's stock at market price. Grants, option exercises, shares withheld for tax, gifts and employee stock plan purchases are listed separately and not counted.
- Pre-arranged (10b5-1)
- The insider marked the filing as made under a trading plan set up in advance (SEC Rule 10b5-1). The mark covers the whole filing, and an unmarked filing may still be under a plan.
- Role
- The title on each filing. Someone whose title changed shows more than one.
- Filing date
- Insiders have two business days to report a trade. Totals and the chart use the filing date, when the trade became public.
