Series 65: Form 144

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Form 144

Form 144 must be filed in most instances when an insider sells more than 5,000 shares (or $50,000 worth of stock). An insider is someone who is an officer, director, or someone who owns more than 10% of the company. Naturally, when an insider is selling his shares, other investors might want to pay closer attention and may want to follow suit.
