Insiders Selling Dropbox, Snap And This EV Stock


Fed minutes showed that officials agreed to keep hiking rates enough to cool down the economy in their meeting last month. Investors, meanwhile, focused on some notable insider trades.

When insiders sell shares, it indicates their concern in the company’s prospects or that they view the stock as being overpriced. Either way, this signals an opportunity to go short on the stock. Insider sales should not be taken as the only indicator for making an investment or trading decision. At best, it can lend conviction to a selling decision.
