I am interested in hearing from anyone who works with or might want to
work with SEC data on insider trading.  We have been asked about
a data tape sold by the National Archives which contains partial
information from the SEC forms 3,4, and 5 on insider trading.
The data is sent to NARA by a private firm which has a government
contract to process the information.  This company appears to have
left key fields off the data tape.  The firm also, it turns out,
sells a more complete version of the data itself.  The NARA data
is very inexpensive, but of limited use.  The vendor's prices were
quite expensive, and include tough restrictions on the redissemination
of the information (including royalties on resale).  I would like
to talk with potential users of the data to find out what the social
and scientific uses of the data might be.  jamie.
