When an insider files a transaction with code P, they have actively chosen to buy shares on the open market with their own money, at the current market price. This is a discretionary open-market purchase — the insider is risking personal capital because they believe the stock is undervalued.
Code M transactions are option exercises — the insider is converting previously granted stock options into shares. This is a compensation event, not an open-market purchase. The insider may immediately sell the acquired shares (a cashless exercise) to realize the option value.
