Planned sales are nothing more then what the name implies. In order for insiders & anyone owning over %5 of the float, with links to the company, must report their intensions, prior to any action in the stock of a company.
This is the way to control insider trading by the SEC. MSO Martha Stewart thing with inclone.
The thing to check is the form 4's, not the 144's. The form 4's show actual shares sold or bought. Not the plans of insider shareholders.
Every time a company starts to perform, you always see planned sales. It's just a requirement so insiders can take profits, like retail. All investors are investing to make profits. Insiders are at a disadvantage because they have to telegraph a possible action. Just because they list shares planned to sell, doesn't mean they will ever actually sell them. Just that if the want to, decide to, they must report it 6 months before or they can't.
The form 4's report the results of the planned sales. If there are no form 4's, there are no sales!
