‘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.) Paying particular attention to significant insider buying is one way to force that discipline of buying cheaply on yourself. When not painting the tape or participating in required corporate ownership requirements, insiders are historically value buyers. This week, we highlight what we think are notable buys.

Insiders made some notable gains last week 9-01-23

August ended on a low note as all three leading market indexes lost ground, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) falling 2.5%, the Nasdaq down 2.2%, and the S&P 500 off 1.7%. Insiders made some notable gains last week on their purchases, but since they are subject to the short-swing rule, it doesn’t really matter much to them since any short-term profits would have to be disgorged. For the most part, these insiders were bottom feeders on depressed company stock.

Insider Buying Week 7-8-22

  Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year. The market retraced some of last months loss, the S&P 500 rallying a little over 2.6% in front of the wave of upcoming quarterly earnings reports. The Fed minutes from last month were released and the long end of the yield lost some of its recent rally.

Notable Insider Buying Week Ending 12-20-19

CB Duncan continues to amass sizable buys of Enterprise Products Partners, LP.  This midstream oil and gas operator  yields 6.29%. This seems like a buy in a low yield world but bear in mind, several MLPs  in this space yield double digits and have sizable insider buying as well. If you believe the combustion engine will be replaced by EVs in the next 10 years, don’t buy these MLPs.
