Insider Buying Week 08-22-25 SPACs are Back

by

  Insiders tend to be value investors. Defining value investors is another phrase for buying low. It’s hard to say what value is. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Does value mean intrinsic value, using common methods of measuring a company’s discounted cash flow value, or does it mean low P.E. or above-average yield, regular dividends?

He’s not alone, though. Almost every pundit I read or listen to, says the same thing. Don’t … 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
