The Insiders Fund Not So Daily Podcast | Labor Day

Insider Buying Week 08-29-25- Will the Market stay up after Labor Day?

  The week after the long Labor Day weekend always worries me. The hedge funds and titans of Wall Street have had plenty of time to convince themselves that the market is overvalued and plenty of time to collude at their Hampton retreats.

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 02-14-25 Buyers Coming Back as Blackout Abates and Uncertainty Rocks Stocks

As Q4 earnings announcements start to wind down, we would expect to see a pickup in insider activity. We are seeing that, particularly in sectors that have sold off in anticipation of possible Trump regulatory changes that would make business more challenging and potentially less profitable. Of course, no one really knows for certain about any of this as Trump has shown a great propensity to say one thing and actually do another.  He may be bluffing, posturing or may change his mind.

Insider Buying Week 6-02-23 Animal Spirits Return

Animal spirits returned in force last week. The average insider returned 7.96% and a median return of 6.61%. The S&P 500 scorched 3.97%. The safe money crowd collecting their guaranteed 4%-5% is near the half-year point. They’ve earned a little less than their guaranteed 2%. That’s 2% for the year to date when the market just turned in twice that for a week. Fear of missing out, FOMO, is a dangerous thing.  One way to avoid that investment mistake is to pay attention to what insiders are doing. Normally they don’t chase their stocks in a FOMO moment. They are … Read more

Insider Buying Week 8-5-22 CARVANA NIRVANA

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? The Insider Report hit the ball out of the park Friday, August 5th. We hope you were in the stands with us to watch Carvana CVNA soar out of the stadium, up 40%. We have blogged about it several times in the Insiders Report. Numerous short sellers were saying that CVNA was going to go bust, and it reportedly had a short ratio of 40%, one of the largest out there. That means 40% of the holders of Carvana were betting it would go down, not up. Today they felt a … Read more
