<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Options Exercise Update At Cooper Companies: Andrews Brian G Engages

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) is one of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OXY/analyst-ratings">&#8220;least favorite oils.&#8221;</a>
On Monday, UBS analyst Josh Silverstein maintained Occidental Petroleum with a Neutral and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$58&nbsp;to&nbsp;$51, while Wells Fargo analyst Roger Read maintained the stock with an Equal-Weight and cut the price target from&nbsp;$56&nbsp;to&nbsp;$53.
&#8220;I think it's a very good situation,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about The Cooper Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COO#NYSE">COO</a>).

Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) is the &#8220;ultimate speculative, and as long as you know that, then I'm absolutely fine with it,&#8221; Cramer said.
Cramer recommended to keep owning Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>) and also recommended buying more in case it goes down.
The Mad Money host said he likes Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>). &#8220;I think that their legal stuff is really largely behind them,&#8221; he added.
When asked about Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>), he said, &#8220;It's a good situation.&#8221;
As for Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMS#NYSE">WMS</a>), the company &#8220;missed the numbers by a mile,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;And when I see that, that often means that the next numbers' going to be missed too.
