The problem with the Form 144 (intent to sell) is that it is much less time specific than the Form 4, which must be filed by the 10th of the month following the sale. You could file a 144 six months in advance. In fact, many corporate officers file 144s even if they're not going to sell in the near future, just so they don't have to worry about meeting the reporting requirements. I track both the 144s and the 4s, and sometimes it is possible to draw conclusions if the filings are very widespread for a particular company.
