Scrape SEC Filings

InsiderInsights.com is devoted to using the legal insider-trading data filed at the SEC in the investing process.

$25 - $90 per month.


Once pegged as an insider, the SEC becomes very interested in how you may be benefiting from the unfair advantage you have when trading your own company's shares. The concept of "disclosure" mandated in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act) was put into practice by Section 16(a), which requires insiders to report their stock holdings and trading activity on Forms 3, 4, and 5.

Insiders must make an initial statement of holdings within 10 days after gaining their insider status, even if they don't yet own any shares in the company they have become an insider of. This is done via the SEC's Form 3.

Subsequent changes in ownership must be received at the SEC on a Form 4 by the second business day following the trade.

Checking Out Clients
By Jane Worthington

April 1, 2007- Although many investment advisors don't handle client assets, each advisor should maintain written policies and procedures to prevent and detect possible money laundering schemes.

The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes and Enforce-ment Network proposed a rule on April 29, 2003, requiring advisors to adopt formal anti-money laundering (AML) programs, but that rule hasn't yet been adopted. As a result, many advisors believe that they have no AML compliance obligations. Not so.
