When a director or who ever buys shares in the company that he is involved with how long is it before he has to declare it to L S E or how does it work

do your own research (dyor).buying price is important to dir paid price ,make sure its a buy and not an excercise of option and look into the share all director deals so if they have sold 50k and bought 25k not good etc .

Dunno, but if it isn't like this, - then it should be.

Senior Dirs should report their Buys and Sells within three days and preferebly on the same day. Senior Execs should report their trades within five days but preferably within 3.

Failure, or repeatedly taking the longest-time should result in a fine of minimum 5k, or 2% of the trade value, whichever is the greater.

No Opions allowed, no alternative payments, cheap stocks etc. unless these are offered on equal terms to private shareholders with a timescale of a minimum 4-weeks from posting the notice.

There is another issue that perhaps hasn't been mentioned:-
-that of "closed periods" this is when the Directors/Execs are presumed to know sensitive information that would put them at an advantage compared with the Market as a whole.
- So my Rules are these:-
No trading in non-shares, or futures, options, or share-based bets, no spread bets allowed at all for Directors or senior executives...
None of the above, or shares may be traded, or agreed to trade for two months before the release of sensitive information. Whether information is "sentive" can be determined by the movement in the sp from the high, (or low) within 1-week prior to the announcent and six weeks after. In addition shares in related-companies may not be traded by Directors or executives in companies that are connected by way or business or where a conncetion may be assumed by any unconnected investor not having specialist knowledge of the business or its customers, suppliers etc.


Personally, I like to see Director Trades, but too often they are reported up to 10-days after the event, also I've seen trades that are rather "close" to announcements, only to discover that particular Director knew nothing of the Company's imminent announcement.
Whilst I like to see Buys (when they are above 50k's -worth), and/or Sales since small amounts are not worth getting excited about.

Share-options are the unacceptable side of share trading, since it's a win-Win with no downside (for the beneficiary!), and it's a Lose-Lose for other shareholders, who have to fund it.

I would like to suggest another "Rule"
- that if any Director want to take a Company private, they must immediately resign and forfeit their last year's salary and benefits; since it is evident their interests and those of sharehoklders are mis-aligned.
