For Week Ending December 14, Insider Selling Outpaces Buying By A Factor Of 32
While certainly a "slight" improvement from last week's ratio of 82 sales for every buy (in dollar value), this week we see a reversion back to the recent mean of about 30x, or a 32.4x ratio of insider selling to buying, to be specific. In the last week insiders sold $332.7 million worth of stock and bought $10.2 million. The recession continues being over.

Thank you Tyler.
I've yet to see a sale from a bank insider (notwithstanding the GS London chap). I can imagine the unwritten gag order has an "or else" that results in one retiring to pursue other interests and spend time with family.
Some of these guys must be just dying to unload their bank shares.
Okay. We see the insiders seeling before the deluge.
Can we see what they do with these dollars?
Insiders are running out of shares to sell, at least until early next year vesting. I know I am.
Plus, just wait until the new year, I have a ton of options to cash in but don't want to take the tax hit this year, just hope the market stays puffed up until Jan 4.
I would bet a lot of insiders are holding off on sales until the new year hits.
ghost...are you concerned that income tax rates and/or cap gains are going to go up? just curious....
If it comes next year, I'd bet it will be eligibility caps using the $ 250 K + formula Obama promised. Dems are already going into a rout for the 2010 midterm elections. They'll sacrifice the top end crowd to show they're half-serious about deficit reduction. Move on to everyone else, after 11-'10.
Just thinkin' what I'd do as an elected Critter in such a screwed up fiscal mess.
good point....agreed that they won't come out on the under 250k group.
they're already taxing them via the dollar debasement.
Doesn't the bush capital gains tax cut expire this year? If am right, you should be selling now.
I am going to be an idiot and call a top here, or a top within days. This is the bear version of Doug Kass's "generational bottom" call.
john_connor, let me guess... this would be your 6th "TOP" call since June?
i'll look forward to your 60th.
keep complaining about "inflation" while your poor investments keep you lagging the joneses.
the time is right for risk taking.
no, this is my first top call on equities, which follows my intermediate top call on gold at 1226. what inflation btw? tool.
I have not yet BEGUN to pretend.
We will pretend in the universities. We will pretend in the congress. We will pretend at the ATM's. We will pretend in the stock markets and on the Forex. We will never give up our pretence. Never in history have so many been at the mercy of so fews pretense.
They're all running for the door. The last one out gets stuck with the bill. I already know the name of the last one out. It is the American tax payer. Sorry chump, you lost...
Since the ppt started propping the market in June when it rolled over, all I've heard is unemployment this, inflation that, debasement, mark to fantasy, insider selling, low volume, melt up, better than expected (shit) earnings, gold silver, oil, corruption, blah blah Dee fucking blah. The market trend is ever higher no matter what your honest bear rants predict. You'll continue to be wrong for another 5 years and maybe one or two day s you will be right for a trade. in the meantime you will grow poor on the sidelines. For now you can fight the good fight of the tin foil hat crowd but you are up against vested institutional forces that aren't about to sacrifice their power for truth. You lose. I lose we lose. Get over it and go back to your day job.
ANON, it sounds as if you got smoked on the way down AND on the way up. Let me know how the buy and hold thing turns out.
lmfao
the rich win again
selling early and joe 6 pack water cooler dumbass is buying aapl, amzn and other overbloated pos stocks thinking he is making money...lmfao
roasted market and in a few yrs insiders buy again real cheap and repeat the cycle on the next bear market....since south seas bubble
you would think 300 plus years and these fools would learn already....
insiders were fools this time...
but they will get their vengeance in due time, no doubt
