Insider trades

SGX also publishes a list of insider trades weekly. This is free on their website. My view is that buy trades are more significant as nobody buys except in hope of a future gain on their investment

But sale trades can be for reasons that have nothing to do with the company's current or future financial situation. For example the seller may have to comply with investment restrictions being breached such as the holding exceeding a set limit due to price appreciation of the share. Or in the case of an individual investor, to pay off a mortgage or fulfill some personal financial obligation or need.
