Supposedly insider buying is significant, selling less so. But when I go to http://www.j3sg.com/ to check out the insider activity of some of the stocks I'm interested, I see insiders buying and selling at all the wrong times. The website mentioned above has stock charts with the insider activity marked on it. Insiders are not allowed to trade on information that is not publically available. So I wonder if their activity is overrated as a predictor of price movements.

A lot of buying and selling is motivated by stock options. Insiders may have to sell some shares to pay taxes on nonqualified options or to pay for qualified options. These kinds of buys & sells have to be factored in.

the rule " insiders are not allowd to trade on information that is not publically available", but they always do trade on the information! as long as they are not gettting caught, that is most of the insiders do. how government going to investigate every insider trades, that is a lot of efforts. some of insiders try to trick you, since the share they purchase now will bring more profit later future

Not really. I bought CHK at $16.66. In went up in the $30s when the insiders started to buy and Cramer said it was a buy. It got up to $42, before it dropped back down.

As a former democrat & now self reliant, there is not any one else different than Congressmen Dr.Ron Paul. because as quickly as we had a dependable President??? I cant think of of any politicians to be greater healthful to run this great u . s . a . & a number of them are afraid to be assissinated or over thrown. yet for suitable now, Obama or Romney. I forgot his call is a ex-Governor of recent Mexico, the priority with him is that he's a former republican. Politicians who swap parys cant no longer be depended on.
