Anyone interested in Alector, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALEC) should probably be aware that the Director & Member of Scientific Advisory Board, Richard Scheller, recently divested US$228k worth of shares in the company, at an average price of US$5.16 each. In particular, we note that the sale equated to a 100% reduction in their position size, which doesn't exactly instill confidence.
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Alector
Notably, that recent sale by Richard Scheller is the biggest insider sale of Alector shares that we've seen in the last year. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$5.31, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. This single sale was 100% of Richard Scheller's stake.

Insider Ownership
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It appears that Alector insiders own 6.3% of the company, worth about US$33m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.

跟杨婕仪约好的是七点在麦当劳见面。看看时间已经快到了我快步的走向那家麦当劳。等我到了的时候杨婕仪已经在哪里了。只不过她的身边还有杨婕仪,张薇,南林,闫宁等人。她们看见我现在才来一群美女在那唏嘘了我一阵。我表示了歉意后带领着一群娘子军浩浩荡荡的杀进了麦当劳。杨婕仪鬼精灵的笑着把我的钱包还给了我。
沉默中过了很久,我开始感觉自我犯罪感很大了,看着她的手在按摩她腿上的淤青,我想她肯定打到了很严重了。不然也不会出现那样的表情了。
人一定要有一点恶习的,没有恶习,人生就不会痛苦,不痛苦人生就不会丰富,不丰富就是完整的人生,不是说过吗,文王拘而演<周易>,仲呢厄而作<春秋>,屈原放逐乃赋<离骚>,左丘失明厥有<国语>……
“我肯定知道啊,你做事的时候也挺喜欢富二代在你旁边的,好像有男性朋友在旁边?”
这一刻,我是多么的希望时间能够快速的过去啊,我不想在这样了,这样黑暗的一天我不知道会不会延续,但是我却知道,此时此刻是我人生中最痛苦的时光莫过于此!董事及alector scientific advisory board成员出售了他们所持股份的100%在这个世界里,两种感觉让人摸不到头脑,一种是喜欢,而一种是爱,男人可以为性而爱,女人却是为了爱而性。喜欢一个人也许有很多种不一样的原因。按照何可这样少数人拥有的条件,没有理由男人们没有下手追过的,我肯定不会相信,不过嘶怎么喜欢和自己差不多大的男孩子,也许是因为经验不足或者是自己受伤吧,也有可能是需要更大的安全感而已,我也不知道为什么她会喜欢我?更别说猜出来喜欢我的理由了,可能正如我所说的,也许是路过的一位让自己有点心动的男人吧,也许是一种冲动,我当然知道这种冲动是很短暂的,因为我有体验过这样的过程。
