Insider Buying Week 05-30-25-Could Harvard University go Public?

by

It was a generally positive month, marked by tariff moderations and largely favorable economic news regarding inflation. Trump, possibly feeling the pressure from the family’s market short, delivered a Friday surprise with the statement, “China not playing nice.” On the surface, there appear to be no groundbreaking revelations, but as always, one must delve deeply into the underlying details. There is an unexpected insight today: creativity often emerges when one is cornered. Consider the actions of the Ukrainians this weekend. Be sure to read the opinion on the large KKR purchase by the Chairman of the Board of Harvard. On … Read more

The post took a backseat to Father’s Day last week. Looking closely, you can see me with DJI FPV goggles next to my son at Tunnel Park.

Insider Buying Week 12-16-22 CRONOS Up in Smoke?

by

The Biden administration may be the savviest market timer on or off Wall Street this year.  The widely scoffed-at and criticized announcement on March 31 stated that the administration would start selling oil from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserves.  It sounded like a cheap trick to influence voters upset about high prices at the pump for the Midterm elections.

by

  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

‘s 5% Decline

by

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. The S&P 500 lost over 6% points last week after losing 5% in the previous week.

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
