Insider Buying Week 01-26-24 Goose Egg None Zappo Gone

by

  In the twenty-two years that I have been assiduously noting and observing insider buying, I have never seen a two-week period where there was not one notable insider purchase.  I understand we are in the heart of the earnings season blackout, where insiders are routinely restricted from buying or selling their company’s stock, but this is ridiculous.  There are plenty of insiders who have found a way to unload their company’s stock, but not one single corporate officer or director has made a purchase of $200,000 or more.  I don’t pay much attention to hedge funds and 10% holders … Read more

Getting the big things right-Insider Buying Week 1-20-23

by

Following insider behavior closely was not a very successful strategy last year. They got a lot of things wrong.  Not too surprising when you look closely at it. Insiders may know their companies far better than anyone else, but their macro crystal ball might not be better than yours or mine.  Last year had two black swan events, a proxy war between the West and Russia over the invasion of Ukraine and rapidly rising interest rates.  The investment strategy that shined last year was global macro. After many years of relative underperformance global macro rose to the top.  Getting these … Read more

We’ve had a few good calls and timely posts, but few more prescient than the April 21, 2021 If Bitcoin is a house of cards, then Coinbase is the clarion bell on the top of the house about to crumble post https://insomniachedge.com/2021/04/coinbase-if-bitcoin-is-a-house-of-cards-then-coin-is-the-clarion-bell-on-top-of-the-house-about-to-crumble/ Insider selling is not as good a predictor of future stock performance as insider buying, but when the selling comes in droves, I call it “rats leaving the ship.” That’s precisely what the Coinbase IPO was, rats leaving the ship What amazes me is that crypto enthusiasts clamor for regulation as the panacea for their woes. I think … Read more

Insider Buying Week 11-11-22 Inflation is Dead- The War is Over- The Dems hold the Line

by

This week’s Insider Report marks the end of an experiment with a paid subscription service. From here on out the Insiders Report is free and I am relieved of my weekend chores. I’ll still continue to blog on insider buying and selling as my time permits. I’ve written numerous times that all bear markets in the last 20 years have ended with a crescendo of insider buying.  The number of insiders buying picked up dramatically last week some with household names like Boeing and CME Group.  There are finally some reasons to be hopeful that this miserable year of investing … Read more

Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Click on this link or image above to scroll the significant buys of the last year. 3 Intel birds, 2 Dow Doves, and Archer Aviation in a Pear Tree, on the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:  The shelves might be bare in some stores this XMAS season but there is nothing short of miraculous how the stock market does nothing but power higher. The performance race to the finish we highlighted two weeks ago is game on.  We’ve got a few names to analyze this week … Read more
