Insider Buying Week 6-24-22 The Market Comes Roaring Back as Powell gets a Mouthful

by

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. The Fed has been bullied into raising interest rates into a weakening economy. Raising interest rates to bring down the price of oil or to untangle the supply chain disruptions is an act of lunacy.  The market is telling us that. Last week a bunch of senators and representatives gave the Fed Chairman a mouthful of that for the first time.   Now many congressional members are telling the Fed Chairman Powel that bleeding the patient to cure the disease is obsolete. … Read more

Stocks don’t fall like this unless there is something really wrong. I’m trying to figure that out and the only thing that I can come up with is that the Fed has been bullied into raising interest rates into a weakening economy. Raising interest rates to bring down the price of oil or to untangle the supply chain disruptions is an act of lunacy.  The … Read more

Therefore we analyze selling for unusual patterns; such as insider selling 25% or more … Read more

One area, probably the area that has the most insider buying by sheer numbers of companies and officers is the mortgage REIT sector.  Names that I’m watching there are Annaly NLY, Chimera CIM, PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust PMT, and a few others.  These are all REITS paying outsized distributions with yields of 12-15%.  The conventional wisdom of course is that anything with this high of yield is risky and probably will end up cutting their distribution.  It’s just a matter of when not if. But what if that’s already in the stock?  That’s hard to know.  That’s like predicting stock price direction or for that matter … Read more
