Insiders who sold US$14m worth of The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR were amply compensated
Even though The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) stock gained 5.4% last week, insiders who sold US$14m worth of stock over the past year are probably better off. Holding on to stock would have meant their investment would be worth less now than it was at the time of sale. Thus selling at an average price of US$53.02, which is higher than the current price, may have been the best decision.
即使克羅格公司。(紐約證券交易所股票代碼：KR)股票上週上漲5.4%，在過去一年中出售了價值1400萬美元股票的內部人士可能會更好。持有股票將意味着他們現在的投資價值將低於出售時。因此，以高於當前價格的53.02美元的均價出售可能是最好的決定。
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
儘管我們不認為股東應該簡單地跟蹤內幕交易，但我們確實認為，密切關注內部人士的所作所為是完全合乎邏輯的。

Kroger Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
克羅格去年的內幕交易
The Senior VP and Chief Merchant & Marketing Officer, Stuart Aitken, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$2.9m worth of shares at a price of US$55.75 each. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (US$48.70). So it is hard to draw any strong conclusion from it.
高級副總裁兼首席商務和營銷官斯圖爾特·艾特肯在過去12個月中進行了最大規模的內幕交易。這一筆交易是以每股55.75美元的價格收購價值290萬美元的股票。我們通常不喜歡看到內幕銷售，但售價越低，我們就越擔心。一線希望是，這次拋售發生在最新價格(48.70美元)之上。因此，很難從中得出任何強有力的結論。

Kroger Insiders Are Selling The Stock
克羅格內部人士正在拋售股票
Over the last three months, we've seen significant insider selling at Kroger. In total, Senior Vice President of Human Resources & Labor Relations Timothy Massa sold US$2.0m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. Overall this makes us a bit cautious, but it's not the be all and end all.
在過去的三個月裏，我們看到克羅格進行了大量的內幕銷售。在此期間，負責人力資源和勞動關係的高級副總裁蒂莫西·馬薩總共出售了價值200萬美元的股票，我們沒有記錄任何購買行為。總體而言，這讓我們有點謹慎，但這並不是一切。
Insider Ownership
內部人持股
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. Kroger insiders own about US$305m worth of shares (which is 0.9% of the company). This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
另一種測試公司領導人與其他股東之間一致性的方法是看他們擁有多少股份。通常，內部人持股越高，內部人就越有可能受到激勵，建立長期的公司。克羅格內部人士擁有價值約3.05億美元的股票(佔公司股份的0.9%)。這種由內部人士持有的重大所有權通常確實增加了公司以所有股東的利益運營的機會。
So What Does This Data Suggest About Kroger Insiders?
那麼，這些數據對克羅格內部人士有何啟示？
An insider sold Kroger shares recently, but they didn't buy any. Looking to the last twelve months, our data doesn't show any insider buying. But since Kroger is profitable and growing, we're not too worried by this. While insiders do own a lot of shares in the company (which is good), our analysis of their transactions doesn't make us feel confident about the company. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. For example - Kroger has 4 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
一位內部人士最近賣出了克羅格的股票，但他們一股也沒買。展望過去12個月，我們的數據並未顯示有任何內部人士買入。但由於克羅格是盈利的，而且還在增長，我們並不太擔心這一點。雖然內部人士確實持有該公司的大量股份(這很好)，但我們對他們交易的分析並不能讓我們對該公司充滿信心。因此，這些內幕交易可以幫助我們建立一個關於股票的論文，但瞭解這家公司面臨的風險也是值得的。例如-克羅格有4個警示標誌我們認為你應該意識到。
