Significance 6/10

VP of General American Investors (GAM) buys 6,151 shares totaling $152,932.92 in two transactions on 2026-04-08

Stark Eugene S, VP Administration/CCO/PFO, made two separate open-market purchases totaling 6,151 shares for $152,932.92 at a blended average price of $24.86 on 2026-04-08, increasing his holdings by 22.1% to 34,000 shares. The current price is $60.95, which is 4.4% below the 52-week high. This transaction is part of a recent buying pattern at GAM: Stark made five prior purchases at this ticker within the past two weeks (2026-03-20 through 2026-03-30). Across his broader cross-ticker open-market history, Stark's track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +80.4% and an 84.62% win rate, though none of his prior same-ticker outcomes at GAM are yet measurable.

Significance 5/10

VP Stark Eugene S purchases 838 shares at GAM in 2 transactions (blended avg $24.94) during 30-day price decline of -7.8%

Stark Eugene S, Vice President of Administration, Chief Compliance Officer, and Principal Financial Officer at General American Investors Co Inc, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 838 shares for $20,902.10 on 2026-03-27 and 2026-03-30 at a blended average price of $24.94. The timing of these purchases coincided with a 30-day price decline of -7.8% and a 90-day decline of -3.1% from the 52-week high of $63.77. His holdings increased by 3.1% to 27,849 shares post-transaction. His cross-ticker track record shows strong historical performance with an 86.67% win rate and average 90-day returns of +81.6% across 20 prior buys, though his prior trades at GAM remain largely unmeasured, with only one prior buy on 2026-01-13 showing a measurable 30-day return of +144.3%.

Significance 6/10

VP/CCO Eugene S Stark buys 838 GAM shares in 2 tranches at $24.92–$24.95; stock now $56.97 (+128% from transaction price).

Stark purchased 838 shares across two transactions at a blended average price of $24.94 on 2026-03-27 and 2026-03-30, increasing his holdings from 27,011 to 27,849 shares (+3.1%). The stock now trades at $56.97, representing substantial appreciation since these buys. Across his open-market history on all tickers, Stark's prior buys averaged +78.3% return over 30 days and +81.6% over 90 days with an 86.67% 90-day win rate, though his GAM-specific prior trades remain too recent to assess measurable outcomes. The timing of these purchases during a period when the stock was down -7.8% over 30 days and -3.1% over 90 days, combined with his strong historical track record, suggests disciplined accumulation at lower price points, though the very recent transaction dates limit definitive outcome measurement.

Significance 3/10

VP Administration/CCO/PFO Stark bought 11 GAM shares at $24.95 on 2026-03-20; 5 prior buys at same ticker, 3 of 3 measurable buys well-timed at 90d mark.

Stark Eugene S purchased 11 shares of GENERAL AMERICAN INVESTORS CO INC at $24.95, representing a minimal addition to his 27,000-share holding (+0.0% net change). The dollar value of this transaction ($274.45) is modest and does not suggest material capital deployment. However, his same-ticker purchase history at GAM shows a consistent pattern: his prior three measurable buys (at prices achieved 30 and 90 days post-transaction) all generated positive 90-day returns (ranging from +5.6% to +137.9%), with a 3 of 3 perfect timing record. His cross-ticker track record over 20 open-market buys also shows a strong 83.33% 90-day win rate at +68.0% average return, indicating a disciplined accumulation approach historically. The current stock price of $59.82 stands 6.2% below the 52-week high of $63.77, and the recent 30-day decline of -3.2% may present a tactical entry point consistent with his demonstrated buying pattern at GAM.

Significance 8/10

VP Stark buys 3,000 GAM shares at $24.95; prior 4 buys all showed positive 90d returns, current price $59.60 represents 139% gain since purchase

Stark Eugene S, VP Administration/CCO/PFO, purchased 3,000 shares of General American Investors Co Inc at $24.95 on 2026-03-13 for $74,850.00, increasing his holdings from 24,000 to 27,000 shares. His track record at this ticker is notably strong: all 5 prior purchases have recorded measurable outcomes, with 4 of 4 prior buys showing positive 90-day returns (ranging from +11.6% to +137.9%), establishing a 100% timing pattern at this security. His cross-ticker buy history shows 19 prior purchases with an average 90-day return of +68.0% and an 83.33% win rate, providing additional context for pattern consistency. The current market price of $59.60 is significantly above his March 2026 purchase price of $24.95, though this comparison requires acknowledgment that the trade occurred at a substantially depressed level relative to recent trading history (52-week range $45.31–$63.77). The combination of consistent accurate timing across all prior GAM purchases and substantial recent accumulation at a historically low entry point warrants continued investor attention.

Significance 7/10

VP/CCO/PFO Stark buys 4,000 GAM shares at $24.98; 5 of 5 prior buys at ticker well-timed with 90d win rate 83.33% cross-ticker

Stark Eugene S, VP Administration/Chief Compliance Officer/Principal Financial Officer, purchased 4,000 shares at $24.98, increasing his holdings by 20.0% to 24,000 shares. This transaction occurs within the context of a strong track record: across all tickers, Stark has executed 18 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +68.0% and a 90-day win rate of 83.33%. At GAM specifically, his 5 prior buys all showed positive 90-day returns, ranging from +11.6% to +137.9%, indicating consistent well-timed entry points at this ticker. The current stock price of $60.22 is -5.6% from the 52-week high of $63.77 but +2.9% over 30 days, suggesting a modest recovery phase. The material significance of this buy lies in the insider's demonstrated pattern of timing at this specific holding—all five prior GAM purchases subsequently delivered gains—which lends credibility to the latest accumulation as a deliberate capital deployment by a senior fiduciary officer.

Significance 3/10

Director Stark bought 2,500 PSEC shares at $2.79; stock now $2.66, down 51.6% from 52-week high.

Stark Eugene S, a director of Prospect Capital Corp, purchased 2,500 shares at $2.79 on 2025-09-17, increasing his holdings to 60,000 shares, a 4.3% increase. The stock is trading $2.66 currently, down 51.6% from its 52-week high and down 6.7% over the last 30 days. Importantly, his prior two purchases of PSEC stock have been poorly timed: a 2024-09-17 buy yielded a 90-day return of -20.4%, and a 2023-09-11 buy produced a -3.8% 90-day return. While his cross-ticker track record shows a 87.50% 90-day win rate with an average 90d return of 76.4%, his same-ticker history at PSEC shows 0 of 2 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark. Additionally, the company reported a full-year net income of $-139,916,000.00, indicating unprofitability over its most recent fiscal year.

Significance 8/10

VP/CCO Eugene Stark bought 177 shares of GAM at $56.92; his 5 prior GAM purchases averaged +103.8% returns, all well-timed.

Stark Eugene S, VP Administration/CCO/PFO, purchased 177 shares of General American Investors Co Inc at $56.92 on 2025-07-30, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 10,000 shares. His track record at this specific ticker is particularly notable: all 5 prior open-market purchases at GAM were well-timed, with 90-day returns of +102.0%, +117.7%, +120.6%, +117.7%, and +90.2% respectively. His cross-ticker track record shows 16 prior buys with an 85.71% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +67.6%. The current price of $56.86 is only -1.3% from the 52-week high ($57.63), and the stock has posted +11.2% over the past 90 days, suggesting Stark is accumulating near recent strength. The consistency of his GAM purchase timing—3 of 3 measurable prior buys resulted in positive subsequent returns—suggests a pattern of market acumen specific to this position.

Significance 8/10

VP Administration Eugene S. Stark purchases 1,000 shares at $24.80 in 2 separate transactions; prior GAM buys show avg 90d returns of 102.0%–111.2%.

Eugene S. Stark, VP Administration/CCO/PFO at General American Investors Co Inc, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 1,000 shares for $24,800.00 on 2025-05-22, raising his holdings from 11,000 to 12,000 shares (+9.1%). The transaction is particularly notable against his prior activity at GAM: across 5 prior trades at this ticker, 3 trades completed 90 days ago showed returns of 102.0%, 102.0%, and 111.2%, indicating consistent well-timed entry points that preceded substantial price appreciation. His cross-ticker track record adds context, with 14 prior buys averaging 90d returns of +59.0% (83.33% win rate). The stock currently trades at $53.24, up 9.6% over 30 days and +2.5% over 90 days from the purchase price of $24.80. The repeated pattern of well-timed accumulation at this specific ticker, combined with the double-transaction structure within a single day, warrants investor attention as an indicator of position-building by senior leadership.

Significance 7/10

VP/CCO bought 5,000 GAM shares at $24.70; cross-ticker track record 80% 90d win, 2 of 2 prior GAM buys well-timed; cluster pattern with 2 peers in 14 days.

Stark Eugene S, VP Administration/Chief Compliance Officer/Principal Financial Officer, purchased 5,000 shares of GAM at $24.70 on 2025-03-07, increasing holdings by 34.5% to 19,500 shares total. His cross-ticker track record shows an 80.00% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +50.4% on 13 prior buys, demonstrating consistency in identifying upside. At the GAM ticker specifically, his timing has been precise: both prior measurable 90-day outcomes (on buys from 2024-06-14) were well-timed with returns exceeding +111%. The current filing arrives amid a cluster pattern, with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days. The stock has declined 3.9% over 30 days and 3.1% over 90 days from the transaction date, trading at $50.50 versus his $24.70 purchase price, yet remains 8.4% below the 52-week high, creating a compressed valuation window.
