Cook John L

John L. Cook’s SEC Form 4 filing history paints a picture of a long-tenured insider whose activity is dominated entirely by compensation mechanics rather than discretionary market timing. Across 68 reported transactions, all concentrated in a single issuer—Security National Financial Corp. (SNFCA)—Cook has recorded zero open-market purchases and zero open-market sales. Instead, the roughly $1.76 million in total acquired value stems exclusively from code "A" grants and code "M" option exercises, with no corresponding "S" or "D" dispositions in the recent record. The pattern is consistent and mechanical. Quarterly grant-and-exercise pairs appear with regularity: on July 1, 2026, Cook received an award valued at $5,254.48 alongside an option exercise of the same amount, mirroring identical $5,245.95 transactions on April 1, 2026, and $8,201.16 pairs on October 1, 2025, and July 1, 2025. Larger annual awards cluster in December, including a series of five grants on December 1, 2023, each valued between $63,592.20 and $63,756, and a $45,058.24 award on December 2, 2022. The most recent activity, dated July 1, 2026, shows the same recurring rhythm—a $5,254.48 grant matched by an equal-value exercise—suggesting a scheduled compensation cycle rather than any directional bet on SNFCA’s stock. Notably absent from the filing history are any code "P" purchases or code "S" sales, which are the only transaction types that signal an insider’s conviction about valuation. Cook’s holdings have grown exclusively through equity compensation and option exercises, with no cash changing hands in either direction. The absence of any open-market activity—buying or selling—means the filings offer no signal of bullishness or bearishness; they simply reflect the automatic accumulation of shares through a structured compensation arrangement.
