Insider Buying Week 1-6-23 When does the Bear Market End?

by

All bear markets end with a crescendo of insider buying. There are a few ways to predict this pivotal event. The most reliable I have found, the ratio of insider buying to selling, can be found at popular subscription services such as secform4.com.  I’ve included a few charts from the site to help illustrate this phenomenon of insider buying foretelling the end of the bear market. I wouldn’t expect too much buying at the moment, though, as we’re deep in the throes of the 4th quarter earnings blackout when insiders are restricted from taking advantage of these reduced prices.   But … Read more

Insider Buying Week 4-8-22

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll the significant buys of the last year. Merger activity increased significantly last week with six new deals announced and eight deals completed. There were 17 deals announced in the month of March, with a total value of $64.55 billion. I read from more than one source, that over $1 Trillion of private equity money is waiting to be deployed. Five companies we’ve blogged about have already been bought out this year.  We are fully in the nether world of earnings blackout.  It’s difficult anytime to discern the mood of … Read more

Lovesac might be Love Shack -Insider Buying Week Ending 1-17-20

by

We are hard pressed to find much opportunistic in this week’s insider buying reports unless you think 20,000 newly acquired shares of Lovesac by the Chairman might do anything to arrest this falling knife.   Then again it wouldn’t take much to enact a counter trend rally.  LOVE is exactly that kind of small-cap neglected name is making giant one day moves in this current state of the broader rally.  Their sectional sofa line, affectionally named Sactionals might just be the product that moves the stock higher.  The company reported 40% revenue growth on Jan 13th,  although yet unprofitable. One of … Read more
