Insider Buying Week 09-05-25 Q3 Earnings Blackout Begins

Nothing much to write about regarding notable insider buys; there wasn’t much of note. But that Doesn’t mean there isn’t great profit making opportunities.  Does this portend something, or is it simply the end of the quarter and the typical earnings season blackout? It likely is the latter, although, personally, I feel the market is just waiting for some clarity. It’s a forgone conclusion, after Friday’s anemic jobs report, that the Fed will drop interest rates at its September 17th Wednesday meeting. The debate now centers on how many rate cuts will occur. One of the reasons I’m so open … Read more

Insider Buying Week 05-23-25

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.

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

  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 05-09-25 Bargain Basement Week

  Finally, a busy week. I can’t extrapolate anything about the general market from these buys, but it’s clear that some insiders are sniffing out bargains.

Insider Buying 03-28-25 Stagflation is the Game. Confidence has been Shattered

The market as measured by the S&P 500 shed 1.53% last month. The dollar was down, gold up. There seems be a pattern here. Money is voting in real time and it’s leaving the stock market.  This looks to me like the opposite of a virtuous cycle. Instead, a vicious cycle is developing a loop of negative events that reinforce and worsen each other. I suspect as the quarter ends, there will be a steady drum beat of lowered earnings expectations.   Consumer confidence is falling at historic rates and business animal spirits are retreating with their tails between their legs. … Read more

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

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
