Gold.com Insiders Sold US$733k Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy

Many Gold.com, Inc. (NYSE:GOLD) insiders ditched their stock over the past year, which may be of interest to the company's shareholders. When analyzing insider transactions, it is usually more valuable to know whether insiders are buying versus knowing if they are selling, as the latter sends an ambiguous message. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Gold.com

The Independent Director, Jess Ravich, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$663k worth of shares at a price of US$26.50 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$36.33, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. This single sale was just 6.6% of Jess Ravich's stake.

Gold.com insiders didn't buy any shares over the last year. You can see the insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below.

It's great to see that Gold.com insiders own 17% of the company, worth about US$156m. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
