Anyone interested in Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSEMKT:NTIP) should probably be aware that a company insider, Steven Heinemann, recently divested US$300k worth of shares in the company, at an average price of US$3.01 each. On the bright side, that sale was only 3.6% of their holding, so we doubt it's very meaningful, on its own.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Network-1 Technologies

Notably, that recent sale by Steven Heinemann is the biggest insider sale of Network-1 Technologies shares that we've seen in the last year. So what is clear is that an insider saw fit to sell at around the current price of US$2.94. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).

Insider Ownership

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Network-1 Technologies insiders own 46% of the company, currently worth about US$33m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
