SFSTSouthern First Bancshares, Inc.
What is the market doing?
Rangebound. That is the only one of 3 checks this filer's data supports, so take it as a single data point rather than a settled answer.
Choppy, but holding above its 200-day average. Price is +4% vs its 200-day average.
Where this answer is blind. Insider selling is often routine (taxes, diversification); only cluster buying is a strong tell.
