When analyzing investor behavior, we chose to focus on insiders—high-level executives and directors within a company. Why focus on insiders? Because they often have valuable insights into a company’s strategy, plans, and next moves. For example, when a CEO or CFO invests their own money in company shares, it can signal strong confidence in the company’s potential.
While both insider buying and selling can be driven by various motives, it’s important to consider these actions in the context of the company’s fundamentals, industry trends, and market conditions. This is why due diligence is crucial before making any investment. However, insider trading activity, along with other relevant factors, can offer valuable insights into a company’s capabilities, helping investors make more informed decisions.
