If anyone has a tip to share about how to quickly ascertain whether the news is purchase or disposal, I would be grateful.
Hopefully the tips already provided will at least help with that particular question, although as also stated, it gets complicated in some circumstances.
I also wanted to highlight, in case you weren't already aware, that Investegate has an '
Advanced Search' facility where it can help list historical RNS releases for a user-defined company, and which can be filtered to show Director Dealing RNS releases, which might help people to build a longer-term picture of a particular director's dealings over and above looking at a single RNS news release.
The specific Investegate URL linked below has been set by me to look for
Imperial Brands (IMB) RNS news releases over the past 2 years containing the word '
Director' -

All Categories' of news released for a given company EPIC, but then filtering on the keyword '
director', and it's worth noting that the above '
Advanced Search' process seems to indicate that the '
All Categories' filter can actually be set to '
Director Dealings', which I think we'd fairly expect to work in a similar way, but I've never had any joy at all in using the specific '
Director Dealings' filter under the '
All Categories' drop-down (which on the above example will return no results, exposing the issue...), and so I much prefer to use the '
director' word-search filter, leaving the '
All Categories' filter looking at all RNS released to search for that particular word...
