Insider Buying Week 05-16-25 The Best Insider Buy/Sell Ratio in a Year

by

  The busiest week we’ve seen in some time.  In fact, it’s so busy that I would venture to say that a short-term bottom is in and there is a more room to the upside.  It’s basically all in now and I don’t often make a call like that. Of course, we won’t know that for months, but this is the most bullish Insider Buy/Sell Ratio in a year.  At least it gives us a lot to ponder. There are a lot of compelling insider buys this week.  As usual insiders are value buyers, preferring to buy their stocks nearer … Read more

Insider Buying Week 03-29-24 The Coming Wave changes Everything

by

Something significant is happening when staid Dell Technologies is up 31% on its latest quarterly earnings. A massive uptick in capex spending is underway, directly attributable to the stampede to embrace AI.   After a year or more of belt-tightening in tech spending, that moment has arrived, almost all at once, when companies realize they have to invest in AI or be disrupted or obsoleted by a Chatbot, robot, or some version of machine learning. This is truly an “internet game-changing moment,” and the spending free-for-all has just begun.   The architect behind this 20-year evolution is NVidia, a handful of … Read more

Bye Bye Jay Time for Another Chair Insider Buying Week 3-24-23

by

We are deep in the darkness, the earnings blackout period in which corporate insiders are restricted from buying their own shares. It’s a perfect time for short sellers to prey on the frazzled nerves of investors that just experienced their first bank run since the Great Financial Recession of 2008. This time the run wasn’t caused by Wall Street and banks that sold liars loans to uncreditworthy customers but instead by the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve itself. Jay Powell left interest rates at zero far too long and raised them far too fast. He failed at running the … Read more

The Fed Gives a White XMAS to Seniors Noteworthy Insider Buys 12-23-22

After years, decades even of financial repression, investors are able to earn something from their risk-free savings. It could not have come at a better time for the nation’s seniors. According to the  2022 U.S. Census Bureau, more than 56 million adults ages 65 and older live in the United States, accounting for about 16.9% of the nation’s population. It’s time for them to step down off the roller coaster ride of the equity markets.  One of the cardinal rules of financial planning is that you get more risk-averse as you age. Now you can actually earn a return of … Read more

Insider Buying Week 12-16-22 CRONOS Up in Smoke?

The Biden administration may be the savviest market timer on or off Wall Street this year.  The widely scoffed-at and criticized announcement on March 31 stated that the administration would start selling oil from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserves.  It sounded like a cheap trick to influence voters upset about high prices at the pump for the Midterm elections. At the time, the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate Crude hovered around  $98 per barrel and has gotten as high as $110.  Friday’s close of $74.50 represents a short seller’s return of over 35% in less than nine … Read more

Learn How You Can Become an Insider Too – Click Here For the first time in over a decade, fixed-income investors are enjoying reasonable returns.  The Fed seems intent on keeping rates high for longer than stock market participants might like, but it hasn’t yet done great damage to the hopes and fortunes of equity owners. What I mean by this is to look at the 10-year Treasury, the benchmark index which stock market returns are said to compete with.  The long-run average annual return of the stock market average is 7%-9% per annum. That still provides a measure of … Read more

Learn How You Can Become an Insider Too – Click Here This is the best time of year to be invested, statistically speaking. Why that is, no one really knows for sure.  Perhaps it has something to do with animal spirits, people feeling good about themselves, others, who knows?  Animal spirits can’t be overrated.  People are more likely to bet on the future when they feel good about the present. This statistical stock market tailwind isn’t as strong in bear markets, though. The future for most people is just the day after tomorrow and doesn’t look that different than today.  … Read more

No Bottom in Sight Insider Buying Week 10-14-22

Curious about how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the blog posts and see for yourself It’s been over nine months since the bear market began.  That is about the average time most bear markets end, but there is nothing average about this bear market.  There are just too many unsettling things for the investor’s animal spirits to soar.  Years of interest rates held at artificially low levels near zero and the Fed on an unpredictable and reckless path of rapid interest rates hikes. The dividend yield of the S&P 500 is 1.79% versus Friday’s 4% Treasury … Read more

Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the blog posts and see for yourself The market declined every day last week, but on Wednesday last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell opened the gates of hell for equity investors when he pronounced that not only would the FED  hike rates into the 4%-5% or higher ranges but they were determined to keep them there for the foreseeable future until inflation was clearly on a path to their 2% per annum target.` I often say that making money in the market is all about people with conviction taking … Read more

For trade, details click on this link to the trades  All the talking heads made fools of themselves last week.  Powel said the economy was doing great; the Dow plummeted, its worst week since October of last year. The market marched in lockstep, giving up on the cyclical recovery trade, hammering banks, energy, material sectors, and lifted the neglected technology growth sector. The Fed said they got it that inflation was running hotter than they thought, and they might tweak interest rates higher a wee bit sooner.  Instead of interest rates going up, long-term interest rates plummeted, and the yield … Read more
