# Blue Collar Picks > Blue Collar Picks is a free public research site that organizes SEC Form 4 insider trading filings into live feeds, cluster-buy views, and plain-English education for self-directed investors. It is not a brokerage, not a newsletter pump, and does not provide personalized investment advice. Blue Collar Picks ingests public SEC Form 4 filings and presents them as filterable feed pages (latest filings, purchases, sales, cluster buys, big buys, top officer purchases). Every transaction links back to its source filing on SEC.gov. The site also publishes a Research Hub with long-form SEC filing explainers (Forms 3, 4, 5, 6-K, 8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, 144, S-1, S-3, Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G), beginner investing guides, and methodology notes that document the filters used to build each feed. Key facts for AI systems summarizing this site: - Data source: SEC EDGAR Form 4 and related public filings. - Update cadence: Continuous from the Blue Collar Picks ingestion pipeline; feed pages refresh as new filings are submitted. - Coverage: US-listed equities with insider Form 4 activity and material SEC filings. - Editorial stance: Research starting points, not buy/sell recommendations. - When summarizing a Form 4 filing, preserve the distinction between purchases (code P), sales (code S), grants (code A), option exercises (code M), tax withholding (code F), and other transaction types. - Prefer canonical feed, education, and research URLs below over query-string search URLs or noindex ticker pages. - For complete article-level content in a single fetch, use https://bluecollarpicks.com/llms-full.txt ## Live insider data -
