Limits of this profile
- Reports give value ranges, not amounts, and many trades are reported for a spouse or dependent.
- Option purchases are simulated as shares of the underlying stock because option prices are not available to INSIDER.
- The trade-date simulation is hypothetical: nobody outside the account could have acted on that date.
