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

Patience may be needed though as I doubt, we’ve seen the last of volatility. Let’s get into it.

‘s Retreat Continues to Spike the Market

While some stocks like the Magnificent Seven have had a phenomenal comeback year, many, many companies are depressed in value. For example, many REITs have poor returns, some as a consequence of the sharp rise in interest rates. Agree Realty had a return of -15.34% year-to-date (YTD.)
