Lowe's Companies, Inc. Common Stock
Routine managed-account rebalancing
| Inside their committee's jurisdiction |

0/32 |
| Isolated decision, not a bulk rebalance |
|
13/22 |

Small, thinly-followed company
Nobody needs inside information to buy a mega-cap.

A name they had never held before
A first purchase is a decision; the ninth purchase of the same holding is a standing order.

|
0/8 |
|
Unusually large for this member
Against their own median trade, not an absolute threshold - and capped, because trades beyond 3x did worse, not better.

A high grade is not an allegation. Every input is public, and buying into an industry you work on daily is ordinary expertise. What the trade actually returned is deliberately excluded from this score and shown separately below.
It is also not a forecast. Measured across every settled trade, A-graded ones did not beat E-graded ones to any significant degree — the method page prints the table. This score says a trade looks like a decision rather than administration, and nothing more.
The filing it came from
filed in 27 days Within the 30-day notification window.
No matching purchase on file. This member has no earlier disclosed purchase of LOW in this account, so the position was almost certainly opened before these records begin in 2019. About 45% of sales are in this situation.
This is a sale, and the strategy does not act on it. It records the member closing a position; it is not a short signal and not an instruction to sell. Exiting when members disclose selling, rather than at twelve months, cut in-remit alpha from +6.76% to +3.57% — a cost of 6.50 points on the trades it changed. See the method.
This filing disclosed 10 transactions in total, of which 9 share this trade date (17 Oct 2022).

Expressing this with options
An illustration, not a recommendation: the nearest listed expiry to a twelve-month horizon, struck near the money. Chains are live — Yahoo publishes no historical chains, so this is priced today, not when the filing was made, and the move it describes may already have happened.

Measured from the first open after disclosure — the earliest anyone reading this could have acted. The highlighted now row sits at its true place in the sequence, so where it falls tells you how long the position has run. The last 9 rows are blank because those windows have not closed yet: this trade was entered —, so anything longer than that is still running.
