About Michael Major's insider trades
Michael Major is VP, Corporate Marketing & HR at Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC). Since May 11, 2012, Michael has reported 2 open-market purchases worth $22K and 1 sale worth $72K on SEC Form 4. There have been no open-market trades in the last 12 months.
1 sale (100% of the value sold) was made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which is set up months in advance and runs on a schedule, so it says little about how the insider sees the stock today.
Their filings also include shares withheld for taxes (23 filings), shares returned to the company (13 filings), grants and awards (10 filings), other transactions (1 filing). These aren't open-market trades and aren't counted above.
How to read insider trades
Officers, directors and owners of more than 10% of a company must report trades in its stock on SEC Form 4, usually within two business days. Purchases with their own money are the stronger signal: insiders sell for many reasons (taxes, diversification, a house), but buy for one. See every AMCC insider trade, the latest insider trades across the market, or cluster buys, when several insiders buy the same stock within days.
