That's interesting, but I wouldn't act on the information before looking at the insider trading in more detail. You can do that on Market Guide by selecting Insider Trading from the menu on the left. Quicken shows you more detail about each trade, and lists more trading history than Market Guide. Quicken shows us all reported insider trades going back 13 months. Buys and sales are trades on the open market.
Exercise means the insider purchased shares by exercising a stock option.
Another entry you'll often see in the Action column is Planned Sale , a notice of intent to sell required by the SEC under certain conditions. The planned sale notice by itself is not a trade. Sometimes the insider doesn't end up selling all, or any, of the shares specified in the planned sale notice. Not all insider sales are preceded by a planned sale notice. Getting back to Russell, you see that quite a few insiders bought relatively small numbers of shares on the open market in recent months.
