To evaluate the performance of previous trades by insider Belstock Richard L, we need to look at how the stock price moved after each of his purchases, specifically at the 1-day, 3-day, 7-day, 14-day, 30-day, 60-day, 90-day, 180-day, and 1-year marks. Given that data for these specific intervals is not provided in your message, we can only analyze the provided returns for 30, 60, and 90 days after the purchase.
Here is a breakdown of the available data:
- 30-day Return: -1.62%
- 60-day Return: -1.62%
- 90-day Return: -9.53%
To calculate the average return, we sum up these returns and divide by the number of intervals (3 in this case):
\[
\text{Average Return} = \frac{(-1.62) + (-1.62) + (-9.53)}{3} = \frac{-12.77}{3} = -4.26\%
\]
Average Holding Time
Although holding time is not explicitly provided, we can infer it based on the provided intervals. In the context of insider trades, the analysis often focuses on short-term intervals (1 day to 1 year), but without specific data on when the shares were sold or further market conditions, we can only assume a generic short-term to medium-term holding strategy.
Profitability Analysis
Given the negative average return of -4.26% over the observed intervals (30, 60, and 90 days), we can infer that the trades were not consistently profitable for the periods analyzed. The stock underperformed during these intervals.
Trade Size Comparison
The current trade involves purchasing 1,000 shares at a price of $41.21 per share, totaling $41,210. To determine how this compares in size to previous trades, we would need additional historical trade data (number of shares and transaction amounts). Nonetheless, based on this single transaction, it appears to be a moderately sized trade for an insider, assuming no historical data suggests otherwise.
Overall, without more detailed historical data on all previous trades (including specific returns for each time interval and trade sizes), we can only provide a limited analysis. However, based on the available information, the trades do not appear consistently profitable, and the current trade size is noteworthy but not necessarily indicative of a strong insider confidence unless supported by past larger-than-average successful trades.

Based on the information provided, the insider trade by Belstock Richard L can be evaluated as follows:
- Role: The trade is conducted by an Officer, which carries less weight compared to a CEO or CFO, who are typically more influential in their company's strategic decisions.
- Purchase Type: The purchase was made on the open market, indicating cash out-of-pocket, which is generally seen as a positive signal since the insider is using personal funds to buy shares.
- Size of Purchase: The purchase of 1,000 shares at $41.21 per share results in a total investment of $41,210. While not insignificant, the size is not particularly large, which somewhat limits the conviction.
- Ownership Type: The ownership is direct, meaning the shares are held personally, suggesting a stronger belief in the company's potential.
- Cluster Activity: There is no indication of cluster activity, which could have strengthened the signal if multiple insiders were buying.
Given these factors, I would assign a Medium conviction score. The direct purchase with personal funds is a positive indicator, but the lower level of influence of the role and the moderate size of the purchase temper the overall conviction. Additionally, the lack of cluster buying and recent negative price returns could imply some underlying concerns about the stock's near-term performance.

Belstock Richard L, an officer at PLBC, recently executed a direct purchase of 1,000 shares at $41.21, which is relatively close to the current market price of $41.29.

Historically, Belstock's trades have shown an ability to anticipate positive movements, although the current purchase size is not significantly larger than his previous trades, indicating steady confidence rather than a strong conviction.
