Insider transactions for the past 12 months with Melcor Real Estate Investment Trust

In fact, insider Daniel Eggert’s most recent purchase wasn’t the only trading in Melcor Real Estate Investment Trust shares that year. At the beginning of the year they did sold Shares priced at CA $ 6.95 per share in a CA $ -68K transaction. So what is clear is that an insider deemed it appropriate to sell at around the current price of $ 6.73. We generally hate insider sales, but the lower the selling price, the more worried we are. Given that the sale was made at current prices, we feel a little wary of this, but it’s hardly a major issue.
