Insider Buying Week 5-26-22 Best Week Since November 2020

by

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. The S&P 500 scorched the short-sellers, racking up the best performing since November 2020, up an astounding 6.19% for the week. So is this the all-clear sign?  We wrote last week a Temporary Truce in the Alpha War Zone that the insider buying sell ratio in the NASDAQ stocks looked like it had reached a short-term buy signal.  I hope you were able to take advantage of that. There will probably be a little carry through from such a big move … Read more

by

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. I spent much of last weekend toiling over the Insiders Report.  Insider buying is picking up in the ruins of the NASDAQ but not enough to waive the all-clear flag that I described in the last post.  The  S&P 500 dipped into “bear” territory Friday only to stage a furious machine-driven short-covering rally that erased a 560 point decline in the last 30 minutes of the day.  Read on for the brave souls that keep trying to ride up the down … Read more

A Temporary Truce in the Alpha War Zone

The Insiders Fund is having a relatively impressive year, 12% points better than the S&P 500.  While still down about 2% for the year, I’m convinced that we are close to running the table.  Why do I have this confidence? After more than twenty years of studying insider buying patterns, the safest and most reliable indicator of market bottoms is the insider buy/sell ratio. The proof is in the charts I am sharing here.

Insider Buying Week 5-13-22- Insiders are Putting their Toes into the Caldrum

by

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. Two things happened Thursday which may have put a temporary bottom in the market’s steady descent downward. I’m going to hazard a guess. More than likely it was the report that Fed Chairman Powell did an interview on NPR in which he all but promised two more 1/2 point interest rate hikes at each of the upcoming Federal Reserve meetings. The bond market took this news in stride and stocks held steady.  The second fulcrum point was the news that Finland … Read more

‘s Easy to Understand Why

by

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. The bear case continues to grow as interest rates resume their relentless rise. The war in Ukraine drags on with Russia pummeling Ukraine in a war Putin cannot afford to lose and cannot win.  The U.S and the West cannot afford to lose either as billions and prestige are at stake.  It’s a dangerous situation with an unpredictable outcome when neither party can afford to lose. China doubles down on its zero Covid policy threatening to drag its economy into a … Read more
