Is it that Europe doesn't have any open data analogues of the SEC, or is it that each European country has its own open data analog?

Each european countries has various orgs, types of license. It is easier to start from SEC to integrate that data into my site, also you have to test a bit what users care about.

Wondering aloud -- this is clearly PII, but it's public information. The site would be subject to GDPR, and other rules from the EU, and folks may want to have their data hidden or removed. What would be the exposure for sourcing EU data?

Nice work.

I remember giving this task to a summer co-op 10-12 years ago. it was alot harder to scrape the edgar site then and gather all for form 4 filings without the new api call first interface and the XBML markup in 10-K and 10-Q filings.

What would also be very interesting is a graph of relationships and movements. Let's see just how incestuous the boards really are, and what's going on with serial CEOs who move from one business to the next.

> incestuous

Is it that? Or would it be similar to when you have a lot of responsibility (like leading a company) you tend to bring along people you know you can trust and can help you succeed?

I think this is a good thing? At least from the perspective of aligning incentives with shareholders?

No. It encourages short term thinking which can boost profits whilst harming long term performance. As an insider you can usually hide the long term consequences until after you have liquidated your stock.

Isn’t that why a lot of the options are long dated / issuance of restricted stock? Im not saying it’s perfect, but it seems better than annual cash bonus?
