by

The post took a backseat to Father’s Day last week. Looking closely, you can see me with DJI FPV goggles next to my son at Tunnel Park. In the background, the sun sets over Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Considering the quarter end and recurring blackout period, there was an unusual amount of insider buying.  I will update the rest of the entries, so check back later in the week for more.

Scroll through the blog posts and see for yourself Last week, the market reversed its sour mood with a thunderous rally propelling the S&P 500 by 3.52%. Our insider buys did even better, notching an average of 5.73% returns. Heavily shorted stock, no matter how poor their prospects doubled that.

Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the blog posts and see for yourself A few insiders stepped up and bought shares in their companies stock. We try to figure out why when just about anything you buy goes down.  With war raging in Europe, Russia weaponizing energy, the Fed on an aggressive tightening path, and the uncertainty of upcoming midterm elections, what’s there not to like?

A Busy Week of Insider Buying 8-20-21 and $CASI, a 10 bagger in 2 Years

by

For trade, details click on this link to the trades.  If there’s one name on this list that I think offers extraordinary opportunity, it would be Casi Pharmaceuticals. It’s been a painful holding for us but take a look at our analysis. CASI looks like a 10 bagger in two years or less. There is something very different now about this stock market than the one we started the year with.  There has been a steady collapse in speculative fervor across the entire market.  You only have to look at the embodiment of it, notable fund manager superstar, Kathie Woods … Read more

Riots, Protests, Pandemics and a Little Insider Buying Week Ending June 5th, 2020

by

The monster purchase by Mitchell Rales of 141,20 shares of Danaher Corp DHR at $164.69 represented just 0.4% change in his holdings.  If an insider is doubling his holdings, this likely has more significance than just upping your holdings by 4/10 tenths of a percent, but this was still a monster buy and I wanted to analyze it. Danaher has made the Rales brothers billionaires and it seems they are none to eager to unload it. Not sure what to make of Director Glazer’s purchase of $1.7 Million of HCHC.  HC2 Holdings is a publicly traded investment vehicle with Philip … Read more

Another Roller Coaster Week on the Coronavirus Train- Insider Buying is Picking Up

by

The headlines don’t stop. Most of them scary and getting worse by the day. That didn’t stop insiders from buying falling knives but not in the quantity I’m looking for to mark the all clear.  The pace of buying is clearly picking up, though IT SEEMS that Friday the 28th was the climax and insiders paused as the news headlines worsened about the virus.  In times of increasing investor panic, insiders will restore confidence, especially when they buy across the board. In this post, we examine insiders purchasing $200,000 of more of their company’s shares, looking for clues that may … Read more
