Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity
Insider transactions serve as a piece of the puzzle in investment decisions, rather than the entire picture.

This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
