Insider Buying Week 11-21-25 AI Bubble Bursting or Buying Opportunity

by

Volatility isn’t just knocking—it kicked the door down. It had been building gradually, fueled by a series of confidence-shaking events: government shutdown fears, air travel restrictions, Fed dot-plot uncertainty, and persistent warnings of an AI bubble. Last week, that pressure finally exploded like a Yellowstone geyser. The market boogeyman came out of the closet, bringing a 1,000-point Dow reversal that spiked the VIX. While pundits offer endless explanations, this sell-off looks like a classic delayed reaction to Nvidia’s earnings. The rout was most intense in AI and Crypto—with Bitcoin shedding 12.9% and the Nasdaq down 2.7%. Meanwhile, the broader market … Read more

Insider Buying Week 11-14-25 the Busiest Week of the Year

Insider Buying Week 11-07-25 the Printing Press seems more like a Weighing Machine

by

Last week was a bit rough. The S&P 500 lost 1.63% and the Nasdaq tumbled 2.94%. It felt a bit like the magic was over.  Warren Buffett said the stock market was a weighing machine but in recent months it seemed more like a printing press. That changed last week. It’s hardly a surprise, though. The equal weighted index has been underperforming since August. The average stock chart looks like crap. Is it a breather or something more malign? Insiders are the classic dip buyer.  Will they bite now that the earnings season blackout is lifting? Name: Sameh Fahmy Position: … Read more

by

If you’re not in tech, you’re losing money in the stock market. The RSP, the equal weighted index of the 500 largest  companies lost almost 3% (-2.7% actual) The S&P 500 made  a modest gain last week, up 0.70%. It really doesn’t matter that much since everyone is mostly invested in the S&P 500 index as opposed to individual stocks. Indexers have long been the tail which wags the dog. The widely copied S&P 500 index reached a record 37% of Mag 7 tech stocks. If you expand that definition just a bit to tech related, it soars to near … Read more
