Why Monitor Insider Activity

Tracking insider buying and selling can provide valuable insights for investors. When corporate insiders purchase shares of their own companies, it often signals confidence in the future prospects of the business. Conversely, insider selling might indicate that those with the most intimate knowledge of a company see potential challenges ahead or simply need liquidity for personal reasons. However, it’s important to remember that insiders sell stock for various reasons unrelated to company outlook, including diversification, tax planning, or personal financial needs. For the most comprehensive picture, investors should consider insider transactions as just one factor among many when making investment decisions, and always analyze these moves within the broader context of company fundamentals, industry trends, and overall market conditions.
