Insiders staying put
Article Abstract:
The level of insider selling of securities can give a near accurate glimpse into the future of the stock market. From Jan. to May 1996, when the market was moving upward, insiders disposed of a large number of their shares. Following the market's decline in Jun. and Jul. 1996, the volume of shares traded by insiders dropped. After stock prices rose again in September, insider selling remained at its low levels, indicating the bullishness of insiders over market prospects.

Time to gauge the January barometer effect
Article Abstract:
The last few months of the year can provide good buying opportunities for stock investors. During this period, companies acquire losses to offset gains that were acquired. Stocks that undergo this tax loss selling method usually increase in value at the start of the new year. To identify these types of stocks, investors can examine the level or the volume of insider trading activity.

Tax-loss selling candidates and insiders
Article Abstract:
Investors begin to buy lagging stocks during Thanksgiving in anticipation of a 'January Effect' bounce after year-end tax selling transpires. The best strategy for investors is to separate offerings that should be traded low from those that will be pulled down due to tax-loss selling. Insider selling and buying activity can help investors determine whether a stock will rise or not.
