SOLD TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!

24 April 2009 by TPC 5 Comments

As we mentioned earlier in the week, insider buying has been non-existent.  Even more alarming is this: insider selling is at its highest level since the bear market began.  Are you buying?  If so, you might just be buying from the very CEO who runs that company.    Fill out those Form 4’s ladies and gents.  You might run out of suckers (ahem, buyers) before long!

    Yep, I'm sure you missed my comment on that post so here it is again, with a link added:

    Yep, and not only is buying down but I believe there's there's been a spurt of insider selling lately too. When they're eager to sell at these levels that's telling. That along with the rush to issue new shares by the banks and REITs during the latter part of this rally tells you a lot, IMO.

    Couldn't agree with you more. The big turning points in the market have been marked by peaks/troughs in the ratio of directors buying/selling.
    In the UK in June 2007 sells to buys ratio was 5:4.
    In October 2008, the ratio was around 1:7.
    And now we are back at about 3:2.
