Hey Rob L: If you're going to spend all that money subscribing to Bloomberg and Dow Jones, you need to know what you are subscribing to: ------------- Form 144: The U.S. Securities Exchange Commission document filed by holders of restricted securities to give notice of their intent to sell. Securities may be restricted under terms of an initial public offering, a venture capital investment, or stock-option compensation, among other things. Sales of shares typically occur soon after a Form 144 is filed. Not all filers of Form 144s are "insiders" as defined by the SEC. But if the seller of the restricted stock is an insider, you will likely see a Form 4 the following month. Form 144s are therefore a harbinger of activity for Form 4 sales. --------------- I'm really surprised that no one caught this (including myself, although I've been moving to CA during this time). How can one register shares to buy? ------------ FORM 144 ISSUER: TOPRO INC.
