FAQ
Questions
What is a Form 4?
It is the form a company's officers, directors and owners of more than 10% file with the SEC when they trade the company's stock. It lists the date, the number of shares, the price and a code for the kind of transaction, such as an open market purchase or an option exercise.
What does the Free plan include?
Up to 3 stocks, and one email a day when there are new filings on them. If nothing was filed, we do not send anything.
When will Plus and Pro be available?
There is no date yet. Until they open, they are marked coming soon and there is nothing to buy.
Is this investment advice?
No. Filing Ahoy reports what was filed. It does not tell you what to buy or sell. The original filing is linked in every alert, and the original is what counts.
Where does the data come from?
From U.S. SEC EDGAR, where companies and investors file these forms. The filings are public. Filing Ahoy is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC.
