How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The newest fact is the disclosed open-market sale amount, price, and post-transaction holdings; it does not include any company-specific news catalyst.
Market read

What to watch
Insider sales often have low predictive power unless paired with other disclosures (new guidance, investigations, major contracts) or repeated selling by multiple insiders.
Background
The article is an SEC Form 4 insider transaction disclosure for Marathon Petroleum (MPC).

Counterpoint
