Frequently Asked Questions
Why is insider buying considered a bullish signal?
Insiders have access to non-public information about business trends, pipeline, competitive dynamics, and financial trajectory. When they purchase shares with personal funds, they are expressing genuine conviction that the current price undervalues the company.
Is all insider buying equally meaningful?
No — open-market purchases (buying shares directly in the market) are the most meaningful signal. Insider buying through stock option exercises or compensation plans is less informative because the insider didn't choose to commit discretionary capital.
How do I access SEC Form 4 insider transaction data?
Form 4 filings are publicly available on the SEC's EDGAR database at sec.gov. Several financial data services also aggregate and display insider transactions in more user-friendly formats.
Does insider selling mean I should sell?
Insider selling is a weaker signal than buying. Insiders sell for many reasons — diversification, tax planning, personal expenses — that have nothing to do with company outlook. Only insider selling across multiple insiders simultaneously is a meaningful negative signal.
