Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights. In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction. Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock. Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors. Exploring Key Transaction Codes Delving into transactions, investors typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

So when introduced as their new shortstop Thursday, Adames looked to his left and gently put a hand on manager Bob Melvin's right shoulder, smiled and said, “if he lets me.” Melvin might not need much convincing, thrilled to suddenly have stability at a position that lacked continuity this year in his first season as skipper. Adames didn't hesitate to also offer a thought to new boss Buster Posey: He plans to win a few championships with the Giants just like the catcher-turned-executive did here. Surrounded by his parents and other family and friends, Adames was formally introduced and welcomed at Oracle Park after signing a $182 million, seven-year contract — the first big, splashy move made by Posey since he became President of Baseball Operations in late September. “There’s no words to describe my feeling right now to be here in this beautiful city, I’m just so happy to be here,” Adames said. "... This is a dream come true for me. I’m thrilled to be here, I’m so excited. Hopefully we can win a few championships like you did, and that’s one of the main reasons I’m here.” Everyone who has encountered Adames so far can’t wait for him to get to work as an example both on the diamond and in the clubhouse. “He’s a unique connector of people,” Posey shared from Craig Counsell's description of the 29-year-old infielder from the Dominican Republic. “That really struck me because I think to win championships you have to have personalities like Willy that they're able to identify with everybody in the clubhouse, and that's not just players. I heard from multiple people that Willy treats everybody with the utmost respect. He plays with energy, he plays with joy and I know that our fans are just going to be thrilled to watch him compete on a daily basis.” Adames' deal marks the richest contract for San Francisco since Posey reached a $167 million, nine-year pact in 2013. “I didn’t know 'til it was done. I was like ‘wow,’" Adames said. From afar, Adames watched the legacy left by his hero Derek Jeter that went far beyond the baseball diamond. And that's as important to Adames as playing all 162 after he appeared in 161 games last season for Milwaukee. He considers part of his role to help the young players learn “to be a professional" and lead a club that has missed the playoffs the past three years in winning the right way. “For me that comes first, it comes first to be a great human being. I've got to thank my parents for that, they raised me the right way, to try to treat everybody the same, it doesn't matter what you're doing,” Adames said. “I think that's something that I'm really proud of, just to be the same guy every day, to be kind, just to give love back to people because there's a lot of hate out there and I don't really like that.” The Giants know Adames' positive influence could go far. Asked about the instability at shortstop, Melvin noted, “Well, it's not a problem now.” Adames gives the Giants a power bat and reliable defense at his position. This year for the Brewers, he produced his best offensive season in the big leagues, batting .251 with a career-high 32 home runs and 112 RBIs. “Look, every team wants a Willy Adames on their team. I think the thing that strikes me the most is when I'd watch him play a couple times a year on the other side was he never looked like he had a bad day,” Melvin said. “It always looked like every day was opening day to him. That enthusiasm when your best players are like that — Matt Chapman is like that, too — it's easy for everybody to have to fall in and play in that type of style. It's easier said than done but really for me that's the thing that struck me most is how much he loved playing baseball.” Adames is close friends with former Giants third baseman Matt Duffy, who shared his own experiences being part of the San Francisco franchise. It all became real when Adames pulled on his new cream-colored Giants jersey and buttoned it up, saying, “I'm a little nervous about this." A few moments later, the cap went on his head and he felt right at home. “It looks amazing.” AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said Thursday that he is "absolutely" confident that Ryan Day will be back as football coach in 2025. Calls to fire the sixth-year coach rose among Ohio State fans after the Buckeyes lost to Michigan for the fourth straight year. Bjork, in an interview on 97.1 The Fan, said Day is the man for the job, regardless of how the Buckeyes perform in the College Football Playoff. They host Tennessee in a first-round game Dec. 21. "Coach Day is awesome," said Bjork, who came from Texas A&M to replace the retiring Gene Smith last summer. "He's great to work with. He totally gets it. He loves being a Buckeye. So, we're going to support him at the highest level." The 13-10 loss to Michigan followed by an ugly melee between the teams put the coach in a precarious spot. He and his team were booed off the field by the home fans. Bjork ended up releasing a statement expressing his support for the coach. "The reason we had to say something after (the Michigan) game is, we're still breathing, we're still alive," Bjork said. "The season's not over. The book is not closed." Thanks to the playoff, Day has a chance to redeem himself with Ohio State's huge fanbase with a win against the Volunteers — and perhaps more in the 12-team tournament. Regardless of what happens, Day will be back next year, according to Bjork. "Coach Day and I just hit it off so well," Bjork said. "I've been really, really impressed. Every single time I talked to him, I learn something. He's innovative. He recruits at the highest level. He's got a great staff." Day wouldn't directly address his job status last weekend. "When you first come off those types of things, there's a lot of emotion," he said, referring to the Michigan loss. "And then as time goes on, you've got to get refocused because you know what you've done in the past does not affect what's going on moving forward. Everything is out in front of us." Failing to consistently beat Michigan is one of the few flaws in Day's coaching record. Hired as a member of coach Urban Meyer's staff in 2017, Day was the hand-picked successor when Meyer retired after the 2018 season. Compiling an overall 66-10 record, he is widely admired in the coaching community. "Great respect for what he's done in his coaching career, what he's done there at Ohio State and the success that they've had year-in and year-out," Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. Day is in trouble now because losing The Game is considered an unforgiveable sin by Buckeyes fans. "What we have to do is this whole 'championship or bust' mentality, you want that as the goal, but it has to be about the process," Bjork said. "To me, we've got to maybe change some conversations a little bit. I think we need to maybe just approach things a little bit differently." Subscribe to stay connected to Tucson.

A social worker in Manipur whose non-profit work was billed as a success story in helping youth and women in the border state affected by gun violence, has run into a huge controversy over his comments in a YouTube interview in which he was heard talking about the "need for escalating the Manipur crisis" in order to keep the demand for a separate administration "alive". Jamkhojang Misao (aka Misao Hejang Hangmi aka Hejang Misao), founder director of the Integrated Social And Institutional Development for Empowerment (InSIDE-North East), in an interview on the YouTube channel 'Nampi Media Jampilal' said the struggle for a separate land has been going on since his forefathers' time, and despite having multiple factions of insurgents with numerous different demands, all of them finally managed to agree on one issue - separate administration. "However, the separate administration movement has reduced now. We will not get this chance anymore, and such an opportunity will not come again. We should use this moment to create an even more chaotic situation, so that anyone who sees us will say we can never live together," Mr Misao said, referring to the Manipur ethnic violence between the Meitei community and over a dozen distinct tribes collectively known as Kuki, who are dominant in some hill areas of Manipur. He spoke in his dialect in the interview, which was translated and corroborated by three sources from the Kuki tribes for NDTV. "After the Manipur violence, the armed groups have come together on one demand. This is a work of God. But the Meiteis don't want to give us a separate administration. SoO groups also signed that Manipur territorial integrity won't be harmed. But God's plan seems to be about giving the Kukis a nation, and I feel it is there. If there was no violence, we would not have got a chance to demand a separate administration," Mr Misao said, referring to nearly two dozen Kuki-Zo militant groups that have signed the controversial suspension of operations (SoO) agreement, which lapsed in February this year . One of the clauses in the SoO agreement says Manipur's territorial integrity will not be touched. Calls to the phone numbers mentioned on InSIDE-North East's website went unanswered. He was among a group of people in the social service sector who was selected to meet former President Ram Nath Kovind in January 2020. He highlighted InSIDE-North East's 'Gun2Pen' programme -- among many other projects - which the non-profit said helped over 5,000 young people find the right path. "It's all God's work... this indicates God has a plan for us. The buffer zone is the evidence of the separation. Despite all these gains, and God's help, it seems we are unable to use the opportunity. The Meiteis started it, burnt our houses, killed our people, paraded women naked," said Mr Misao, who belongs to Any Kuki Tribe (AKT) that was added to the Scheduled Tribes' list in 2003. "If they have created the situation, how do we escalate it more and more, and keep it alive, then our demand will be seriously considered? Now, the separate administration demand's momentum is dying slowly. Even the Prime Minister in parliament says normalcy has come in Manipur. Schools are running, markets are running, government offices are also running, those who are going to grant us separate administration themselves say normalcy has returned," Mr Misao said in the interview. "Even if we don't agree with the claim by the government that normalcy has returned, New Delhi has already declared normalcy. So, in a place where there is normalcy, who is going to take up our issues? When the government in parliament says there is normalcy, we need to do something to show evidence that there is no normalcy. That's what's required," Mr Misao said. Information on the central government's non-profit organisation (NPO) database 'Darpan' shows Mr Misao registered the Integrated Social And Institutional Development for Empowerment in February 2013 in Manipur's Kangpokpi district. The public database contains unique identity numbers of NPOs. This unique ID number is mandatory if an NPO wants to take funds from government departments and ministries. Mr Misao's NPO has been allotted a unique identity number - MN/2017/0177675 - which it can use to apply for grants from government departments and ministries. "It is unfortunate that we are unable to take advantage of the situation. Whether armed groups or civil society groups or individuals, we have to introspect, take a look at the situation again as there is no complete normalcy yet. The world should know there will be no peace in Manipur without a solution. For leaders of the world and India to see, we have to do something so that they will know that Manipur needs a solution for peace," the social worker from Kangpokpi district said. He blamed leaders for the weakening of the resolve to demand a separate administration. "... If God has shown us the path, the leaders should have guided the public forward... There was a guy in Nagaland, C Singson, who asked the Indian interlocutor in Bangkok during the Naga talks, why is the Kuki issue never brought up? "The Indian interlocutor replied Kukis have never been an issue, and there is nothing to discuss about them. However, the Meiteis have with their actions against the Kukis, who never really had any grievances, have created a situation which has made the Indian government realise the Kukis have an issue. "Not only the Indian government, the whole world has now recognised the Kukis' problem. That problem has to be escalated more and more. If that problem is not escalated, then the demand we are putting forward is not politically strong and reasonable. The Meiteis have made us politically strong. But today, we don't know how to take it forward. That's very unfortunate," Mr Misao said. There are many villages of the Kuki tribes in the hills surrounding the Meitei-dominated valley. The clashes between the Meiteis and the Kuki tribes have killed over 250 people and internally displaced nearly 50,000. The general category Meiteis want to be included under the Scheduled Tribes category. The Kukis who share ethnic ties with people in neighbouring Myanmar's Chin State and Mizoram want a separate administration carved out of Manipur, citing discrimination and unequal share of resources and power with the Meiteis.
