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.

Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Click on this link or image above to scroll the significant buys of the last year.

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