<h3>Unmasking the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
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>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Surveying the realm of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often give prominence to those unfolding in the open market, systematically detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Illuminating the Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Deciphering Transaction Codes in Insider Filings</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Earnings Scheduled For December 4, 2023

Tori Samples, Senior Product Manager at&nbsp;Stellar Development Foundation&nbsp;will be speaking at the upcoming&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/crypto-conference-article-link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Benzinga&#39;s F</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/crypto-conference-article-link">uture Of Digital Assets.</a>&nbsp;Mark Nov. 14 on your calendar for the must-attend gathering in the industry!
The views expressed belong to the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of any organizations they represent.
When I started pitching my blockchain-based startup in 2018, I included a sobering statistic to indicate the size of the total addressable market: 68 million people around the world were forcibly displaced at the time. Most of them were under and unbanked, with few financial services available to them. Five years later, that number is almost double. Over 108 million people are displaced; their financial options remain alarmingly similar. One area of substantial change has been in blockchain-enabled services. Digital wallets provide much-needed access to the formal financial system as the cost of remittances remains stubbornly high, bank de-risking plagues financial inclusion efforts, devaluation of local currency erodes savings, and local identity requirements exclude many immigrants from accessing bank accounts. Users benefit from the global nature of blockchain-based products, with portability of funds and easier preservation of value when crossing borders. For people on the move, this combination of traits is rare. Even for those not at risk of being displaced, economic instability has created a predictable cycle of crisis across the world. Digital wallets allow people in emerging economies to access global currencies through fiat-backed stablecoins. This mitigates the impact of local currency devaluation in environments in which every peso, kwacha, franc, or shilling matters.
I&rsquo;ve seen firsthand the impact these products make for marginalized populations. I built a digital wallet for refugees and migrants in Africa, <a href="https://bossmoney.africa/">Boss Money</a>, that was acquired by IDT (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/idt#NYSE">IDT</a>) in 2022. As we scaled across the continent, we witnessed how cross-border, blockchain-enabled services could benefit not just refugees but small traders, families, and travelers. Rather than sending money in an envelope on a bus, a user could cash into Boss Money digitally from their Ugandan mobile money account and pay for a family member&rsquo;s utility bill in Kenya. I could travel from my home in Rwanda to a neighboring country without needing cash or a mobile money account in that country. As products must always be driven by their user base, we built the wallet for basic phones (non-smartphones) first. We added a smartphone app several years later. Even people with a smartphone can access Boss Money through USSD without needing data or an internet connection. The wallet processes all transactions over the Stellar network in local currency stablecoins. Boss Money continues to thrive under IDT and enable economic security for the marginalized.
I joined the Stellar Development Foundation last year to lead the development of <a href="https://stellar.org/use-cases/stellar-for-aid">Stellar Aid Assist</a> after Russia&rsquo;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Stellar Aid Assist helps humanitarian organizations like <a href="https://www.unhcr.org/ua/en/52555-unhcr-launches-pilot-cash-based-intervention-using-blockchain-technology-for-humanitarian-payments-to-people-displaced-and-impacted-by-the-war-in-ukraine-unhcr-has-launched-a-first-of-its-kind-integ.html">UNHCR</a> to send funds to people in need. Many humanitarian organizations operate cash and voucher assistance (CVA) programs as an alternative to providing physical goods like blankets and food. These programs allow recipients to have agency over their day-to-day lives, even in a time of crisis. They have been proven effective across the world. However, the legacy financial system presents hurdles to cash programs and interrupts the amazing work humanitarian organizations perform. Bank wires are expensive, slow, and only applicable to a portion of the recipient population. Money in transit is difficult to track. Delivering funds in physical cash can place recipients (and staff) at risk. The shortcomings of the legacy financial system disproportionately affect marginalized populations. Shifting these payments to a blockchain like the Stellar network&nbsp;benefits both the senders and receivers of funds. Humanitarian organizations can process tens of thousands of payments nearly instantly, for negligible fees, with 100% certainty when funds arrive. It doesn&rsquo;t matter how big or small each payment is. Receivers can access their money on their phone, no matter where they are or where they go. They receive funds in a stable form like digital dollars on the Stellar network. They can cash out funds digitally or to physical cash through global off-ramps like MoneyGram International. These funds serve as a lifeline in a time of crisis. Stellar Aid Assist is powered by the <a href="https://stellar.org/products-and-tools/disbursement-platform">Stellar Disbursement Platform</a>, an open source bulk payments tool that is free and accessible to all. The Stellar Disbursement Platform is equally beneficial outside of aid for use cases like cross-border payroll, government social programs, and paying freelancers around the world who cannot access bank accounts.
My biggest lesson through this journey is that, generally, users don&rsquo;t care about the tech. They care about what a product enables for them and/or how it makes their life better. I liken this to using an elevator. I don&rsquo;t need to know how the elevator works. It conveniently transports me up and down. I might not use it every time an elevator is available but it can be immensely helpful in certain situations. I trust it to get me where I need to go. Blockchain does the same for financial transactions. It serves as a conduit for transporting value. It is not appropriate for every situation but can enable new access and make life measurably better in certain contexts. It&rsquo;s worth noting that elevators didn&rsquo;t become commonplace or trusted overnight. Music was installed to make people less anxious. A human operator helped users navigate the system. This is our role as people working in the blockchain and crypto industry. Yes, we build the tools, but we can&rsquo;t stop there. We also must build the safety standards, ensure adequate regulatory oversight, and help people become comfortable with the products in whatever ways speak to them. When we shift our focus to creating a pleasant ride with a clear, beneficial outcome instead of blasting the mechanics, we will see widespread adoption, comfort, and sustainable impact.
I&rsquo;ll be speaking on this topic at <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/go/crypto-conference-article-link">Benzinga&rsquo;s Future of Digital Assets</a> conference and hope you&rsquo;ll join me there to continue the discussion.

Top 3 Tech And Telecom Stocks You May Want To Dump In October

IDT Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/idt#NYSE">IDT</a>), a global provider of fintech, cloud communications, and traditional communications services, today commented on the decision by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in a class action
IDT Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDT#NYSE">IDT</a>), a global provider of fintech, cloud communications, and traditional communications services, today commented on the decision by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in a class action on behalf of the former stockholders of the Company's former subsidiary, Straight Path Communications Inc. ("Straight Path"). Straight Path was spun off from IDT in 2013 and, in 2017, was sold to Verizon Communications for $3.1 billion. The Court dismissed the claims against IDT and found that, contrary to the plaintiffs' allegations, the Class suffered no damages.
"We are very pleased that the Court today dismissed all claims against IDT and found that Plaintiff and the Class ‘suffered no damages,'" said Shmuel Jonas, IDT's CEO. "We encourage our stakeholders to carefully review Vice Chancellor Glasscock's decision. The charges the plaintiffs advanced for years have now been resolved by the Court of Chancery."
The Court of the Chancery's decisions are available for review and download here: <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hkEqecv7prPCv-UuhM2hazdqtzamR93igcj63KN-AhXDMB8gVLAbFtlZu-_-VkNcEIHkjV64fNX2QkbGipIDW-9kKlOjEaS45T8DjfV2YP4mVOYfV7TRzrOBpH5XEHEDrWPC96DgndZ07X0VjUOZUW7MACLlZKEbEoOtRb_A7evafnBhkzxIt6v9pE0BghnQp-Icq0CzlNpZxqVDtXQSbc5W5p1BI-aUabhdInHWeRU=">https://courts.delaware.gov/opinions/index.aspx?ag=court%20of%20chancery</a>
The lawsuit, filed by the plaintiffs in 2017, alleged that the Company aided and abetted Straight Path's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Davidi Jonas, and Howard S. Jonas in his capacity as controlling stockholder of Straight Path, in forcing an unfair settlement of claims between Straight Path and the Company at the time of the sale of Straight Path. The Court found that the settlement in fact exceeded the value of those claims, and that there was no harm to Straight Path stockholders as plaintiffs alleged.
The plaintiffs will have 30 days from entry of the final order to file an appeal to the Supreme Court of Delaware.
