When a trade hits the tape with a famous name attached, it’s tempting to treat it like a signal. The more useful approach: treat it as a prompt to ask better questions.

- Timing: disclosures can lag—focus on patterns, not a single date.
- Size bands: reported ranges are often broad, so avoid precision.
- Confirmation: look for a business reason you’d like the stock even without the trade.
