First Carvana now Cassava Short Sellers get Mauled Insider Buying Week 8-19-22
"All good things come to an end," so the saying goes. They don't all come to an end bumping up against the 200-day moving average, though. The historic run in the market began to look just like a bear market rally with Friday's across-the-board sell-off. The market notched its first losing week in the last five. This week had something very everyone. Short sellers got slaughtered betting against…
Insider Buying Week 8-5-22 CARVANA NIRVANA
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%,…

This is the best time of year to be invested, statistically speaking. Why that is, no one really knows for sure. Perhaps it has something to do with animal spirits, people feeling good about themselves, others, who knows? Animal spirits can't be overrated. People are more likely to bet on the future when they feel good about the present.…
Insider Buying Week 11-11-22 Inflation is Dead- The War is Over- The Dems hold the Line
This week's Insider Report marks the end of an experiment with a paid subscription service. From here on out the Insiders Report is free and I am relieved of my weekend chores. I'll still continue to blog on insider buying and selling as my time permits.
I've written numerous times that all bear markets in the last 20 years have ended with a crescendo of insider buying. The number of insiders…
Insider Buying Week 6-17-22 The Market Loses a Stunning 6% on Top of Last Week’s 5% Decline
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. Stocks don't fall like this unless there is something really wrong. 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…

Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year.

The S&P 500 scorched the short-sellers, racking up the best performing since November 2020, up an astounding 6.19% for the week. So is this the all-clear sign? We wrote last week a Temporary Truce in the Alpha War Zone that the insider buying sell ratio in the NASDAQ stocks…
Insider Buying Week 5-20-22 Trying to Go Up on a Down Escalator
Curious how well insiders are doing with their buys? Scroll through the significant buys of the last year.
I spent much of last weekend toiling over the Insiders Report. Insider buying is picking up in the ruins of the NASDAQ but not enough to waive the all-clear flag that I described in the last post. The S&P 500 dipped into "bear" territory Friday only to stage a furious…
