One way this is not like 2008, Insiders are NOT Buying -Insider Buying Week 3-10-23

This is LIKE 2008, contrary to what you may have heard about the recent Silicon Valley Bank failure.   Banks either don’t want to pay competitive deposit rates or can’t.  Competing with Fed Chairman Powel’s ~5%  treasuries is hard. Actually no banks can compete with it. Vast sums are being withdrawn from the banking system. Ironically the stock market is on the only place you will be able to compete with the yield crisis that the Fed is precipitating.  Many solid companies are paying good dividends with the likely prospect of raising them.  So tell me, how is this not like … Read more

Insider Buying Week 5-20-22 Trying to Go Up on a Down Escalator

  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

Notable Insider Buys and Sales Week Ending 11-9-18

Buys TSLA  Tesla Inc.  Elon Musk backs up his bravado with his pocket-book, buying $30 million worth of Tesla stock at an average price of $347.75. One though does have to wonder about the sources of Musk’s funds as he never sells stock, only buys it and takes no salary. This is reminiscent of bad experiences investors had with Audrey McClendon of Chesapeake Energy. At some point, the money runs out. Is Elon buying on margin? If so this can lead to a dangerous downward price decline in times of turmoil. AMH American Homes 4 Rent .Chairman of the Board Gustavson … Read more

Top Stocks Insiders are Buying and Unloading Now

Buying American Homes for Rent AMH Chairman of the Board, Hugh Wayne, bought a monstrous $30 million worth of this REIT increasing his holdings by 12.9%.  I have watched Mr. Wayne purchase stock for sometime in this low yielding REIT and have been curious as to the end game.  It was established in 2012 by Public Storage founder Wayne Hughes after scooping up thousands of foreclosed homes.  I believe the plan is simple, profiting from once in a life time housing meltdown, lack of affordable housing, raising rents, and then ultimately selling the homes at greater prices.  Undoubtedly it will work … Read more
