What do the quote, quote date, last quote, and gain represent?

The quote is a Yahoo quote (20 minute delay) at the time we discover the trade. The price the insider pays is usually different than what you can get at the time the trade is known. We also report the date we got that quote as well. The last quote field represents the quote at the time of that summary update. Then we use the two quotes to determine the gain or loss percentage. This is to more accurately represent the gain or loss for a non-insider.
