The Form 144 is the lead indicator. The Form 4 is the receipt — and the gap between their prices is the only urgency measure the filings give you.

A Form 144 is filed when the order is placed, with a price indicated at that moment. The Form 4 reports what actually executed, up to two business days later. Where a seller files the 144 genuinely in advance, the spread between the two prices measures what they were willing to give up to get out.

Three of this week's largest disposals were visible as 144s before any Form 4 existed: Awilhelmsen AS (500,000 noticed 4 Nov at $333.00; 500,000 noticed 9 Nov at $341.00), Corvex Management (375,000 noticed 10 Nov at $220.78, still unexecuted), and Shyam Sankar at Palantir (300,000 noticed 10 Nov at $169.20, about $50.76m). Sankar: single-source

But most 144s this week carried zero information, because they were filed the same day at the executed price — a formality rather than a notice. Stephen Squeri at American Express, Gregory Brown at Motorola Solutions, Matthew White at Linde and Trina Spear at FIGS all show a 0.0% spread. Awilhelmsen's two show −1.1% and −0.7%.

One seller stands apart. Ronda Stryker filed a 144 on 5 November indicating $339.65 and executed on 6 November at $325.32 — a −4.2% spread, by an order of magnitude the widest in the week's large prints. She filed a day ahead, the stock moved against her, and she sold anyway.

That is either a plan executing mechanically, or a seller who did not care about 4%. It is worth noting that this is the same filing whose Rule 10b5-1 checkbox was reported as unmarked in yesterday's edition — a detail that rested on one automated summary. The two facts sit badly together: price-insensitivity is what a plan looks like, and a missing checkbox is what discretion looks like. One of the two readings is wrong, and the primary document on EDGAR is the only thing that settles it.
