Method and system for collecting and evaluating insider transaction data

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and systems for evaluating insider financial transaction data in which a transaction score is determined for an insider transaction using one or more attributes of public insider financial transaction data. The transaction score can be used for determining a value or ranking for a company, industry or individual. For example, the value can be a positive indication indicating that the transaction score has a positive value relating a buy value or the value can be a negative indication indicating that the transaction score has a negative value relating to a sell value. According to one embodiment, one or more attributes are used for determining the transaction score and the attributes can be weighted differently. Example attributes include type of the insider transaction, size of the insider transaction, position of an insider making the insider transaction and percentage of change of ownership of an insider after the insider transaction. Various displays or reports can be generated for displaying the transaction score and one or more selected fields of information directed to the public insider financial data.
