One thing is for sure, the insiders and 10% owners did some late shopping and continued to buy stock this past week at a furious pace.
One interesting tidbit to this week's insider trading was all the energy stocks that are showing up. It is clear many insiders feel the bottom is close and now is the time to buy shares.
The long and deep energy sell-off has brought many 10% owners and executives out to the buy desk. The insider buying volume swamped selling last week.
The holiday shortened Thanksgiving week sure didn’t keep the insider buyers from continuing to add shares.
On a week when the market had some of its best upside trading in months, conventional wisdom would seem to dictate that insider buying would be slow.
While insider buying remains consistent, it does appear that the windows for executives and 10% owners to buy and sell are starting to shut ahead of earnings.
Insider buying continues to swamp insider selling, and ever since the markets started to sell off hard in late August that has been the case.
Insider buying is almost always a bullish indicator and the amount of it over the past month has been huge.
