Insider Buying 03-07-25 Chaos-2.0 Treasure Hunt Continues

by

CHAOS 2.0 unfolds as expected with a sharp drop in interest rates as market participants pivot from worrying about inflation to crumbling public sentiment and the likelihood of rising unemployment numbers.  February employment numbers failed to assuage the sense that the U.S. economy is about to rollover as an inconsistent implementation of tariffs, pall-knell like approach to trimming Government fat, and a clear failure to lead the electorate has created a witch’s pot of discontent.  Stocks are predictably down, the only question being is this a trend or a bottom. The jury is still out on that. As for me, … Read more

Insider Buying 01-03-25

by

Christmas and Hanukkah falling on the same day can be seen as a fleeting symbol of unity and peace—or simply a coincidence between the Gregorian and lunar calendars.   Name: John W Childs Position: Director Transaction Date: 2024-12-30 Shares Bought: 29,000 Average Price Paid: $35.94 Cost: $1,042,393 Company: Biohaven Ltd.

Insider Buying Week 07-26-24 A Volatile Week with a Continued Absence of Insider Buying

by

I wrote last week that “The assassination attempt on Trump failed, but the Republican Convention succeeded in killing the Trump stock market rally. The week started on a positive note with almost a providential feel. Still, it began unraveling as market participants grappled with what a second-term Trump Presidency might really look like.” It’s a fool’s errand trying to anticipate the hive mind of the market, yet no hedge fund manager dare ignore it despite their assurances of their ‘long term investor’ commitments.  So here’s my take, the market began to fixate on what a Republican blowout would mean up … Read more

Insider Buying Week 06-21-24

by

It’s that familiar time of year again when insiders are blocked from transacting in their own stock due to pending 2nd quarter earnings. At least two of the notable buys were stocks The Insiders Fund is already pretty heavily invested in: Exxon and Biohaven. So, at least, the research toll on me will be minimal as I’ve spent this blistering weekend supervising a landscape project at my house. That’s the featured image if you’re wondering what that has to do with stocks. It doesn’t.   Name: Maria S. Dreyfus Position: Director Transaction Date: 2023-06-17 Shares Bought: 18,310 Average Price Paid: … Read more

Insider Buying Week 05-31-24 The Pace is Quickening- there is a bit of a Frantic Frenzy

by

If you haven’t been to the Sphere in Vegas, go now. It’s a marvel, and probably no better way to show it off with a light show from the Dead & Company, now playing at the Sphere.  I got two mind-bending ideas from last week, so that’s a mission accomplished. Biohaven insiders continue to buy challenging the naysayers. Several insiders are bottom fishing this week, and we’re going to do a quick dive into it. Remember this is my personal notebook I am sharing and am under no obligation to discuss any purchases or sales. Do your own research and … Read more

Insider Buying Week 05-17-24 Biotech Bonanza

by

I was a little late in finishing the blog, as there were many more names to research. Most of the quarterly earnings are behind us, and it is heartening to see that insider buying has picked up a little. Speculative biotech is heating up.   Name: F Thomson Leighton Position: Chief Executive Officer Transaction Date: 2023-05-14 Shares Bought: 22,000 Average Price Paid: $92.68 Cost: $2,038,960 Company: Akamai Technologies Inc (AKAM) Akamai aims to empower and defend life online.

Insider Buying Week 04-26-24 In the Heart of 1st Quarter Earnings Blackout Darkness

We are deep in the blackout period when most companies prohibit insiders from trading in their stock prior to quarterly earnings. It’s been ugly for the bulls, but there might be some green shoots.

Insider Buying Week 10-13-23 The Black Swan has been Spotted

by

The market bounced off deeply sold, technically oversold conditions.  Now we’re in earnings season, and much if not everything, will hinge on that. Of course, a broadening war is on everyone’s mind. There’s no way the Fed will raise interest rates with all the geopolitical and domestic political angst. It remains to be seen if any insiders buy this market. I suspect some buying from deeply wounded sectors like utilities and REITs but not much else.

Insider Buying Week 10-06-23 Israel at War while the Fed Reserve Fights the American Consumer and Stock Market

by

The market reached deeply technically oversold conditions.  Bullish divergence RSI was signaling a reversal. I would have said this reversal has room to run, but the war in Israel may reverse whatever animal spirits are forming. Give Peace a Chance looks like a nostalgic idea, with the axis of evil combined with Iran, Russia, and China financing it through the purchase of oil.  Why the U.S. doesn’t stop the transit of Iranian oil through the Hormuz straits is a mystery considering there have been dozens of provocative actions by Iran that have been stymied only by the U.S Navy coming … Read more

Insiders made some notable gains last week 9-01-23

by

August ended on a low note as all three leading market indexes lost ground, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) falling 2.5%, the Nasdaq down 2.2%, and the S&P 500 off 1.7%. Insiders made some notable gains last week on their purchases, but since they are subject to the short-swing rule, it doesn’t really matter much to them since any short-term profits would have to be disgorged. For the most part, these insiders were bottom feeders on depressed company stock.

‘s Really Quite Simple Buy Guns and Gas-Insider Buying Week 11-5-22

by

A miserable week, down 3.46% for the bulls ended on a positive note on Friday. The narrative that the bottom was in now seems shaky as stalwarts AMZN, APPLE, MICROSOFT, ALPHABET, and  FACEBOOk all plumb new lows. One thing for certain, the hurdle rate for stocks and all things investment-related is much higher. The 10 Year Treasury yield of nearly 4.5% and the Prime rate of 7% are the new realities. We ain’t going back anytime soon to the halcyon days of near-zero interest rates. I keep repeating my mantra- All bear markets in the last 20 years have ended … Read more

”s Driving the Market Higher-Insider Buying Week 10-28-22

by

The Dow had its’ best run in over 40 years. Major stock indexes extended a stunning October rally on Friday after tech giants Apple and Intel broke a streak of dismal third-quarter earnings reports. The Federal Reserve’s ongoing tightening campaign threatens to slow the economy down through at least next year. This may be a historic rally, but it is notably absent of insider buying.  The few buys that there were produced some handsome gains, notably from the issuance of the stub Biohaven and its spot secondary that closed the week, 46% higher. All bear markets in the last 20 … Read more

Insider Buying Week 8-26-22 Jerome Powell Debuts at Jackson Hole as “Chucky “

by

Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. Friday was a blood bath. The Dow dropped 1000 points. Jerome Powell played Chucky, the criminally insane doll that came to life.  With stunning, chameleon-like performance, he morphed into Paul Volcker, warning the investment community about the pernicious destructive nature of inflation.  Volcker is the Fed Chairman that was famous for crushing the inflation of the 1970s by running interest rates into the high teen percentage points. I personally think it was the most boneheaded policy I’ve lived through. the economic equivalent … Read more

There are a lot of tea leaves to pick through.  Insiders don’t explain the logic of their big purchases.  We have to let the dollars speak for themselves and we can only imagine what they are saying.

These are the Insider Buys that Matter Week Ending 8-14-20

by

Earnings season is almost over and with it the blackout period that restricts corporate insiders from buying their own company’s stock.  Animal spirits are lighting up the market as insiders are adding fuel to the fire with the biggest increase in buying since the March lows.  Normally insiders buy their stock when it’s cheap and you see less buying when the market is making new highs.  Not this time!  Barry Diller shook up the online gambling world with his Interactive Corp IAC  disclosure that it had gone over the 10% reporting threshold with its most recent purchase of 9,705,785  shares of MGM at … Read more

Odonate ODT’s Chairman and CEO Kevin Tang has made open market purchases of more than $36 million in so far this June, including $10 million on the spot secondary at the highest price his paid all year.   This is a bet the farm investment but seems to be validated by the market as ODT stock has more than tripled this year. Three insiders buy AbbVie after Wall Street choked on their purchase of Allergan.  Do two out of favor big pharma companies add up to 4? Wall Street certainly doesn’t think so.
