I have not watched all of the tickers posted in this thread but did look back to the earliest posts. Most of names are flat from July/August 2018 up to now while the general market is up 30%

How are you guys using this info?

I can't speak for anyone else, but without context it doesn't have too much meaning.  If you want to dig deeper I suppose you could find out the CEO's approximate net worth, or at least his annual salary and compensation.  A "director" is pretty generic.  I know this is a buy thread but within reason insider sells don't alarm me at all.  Some of them receive ridiculous amounts of stock and modest salaries.  I wouldn't want 90% of my net worth in one stock either.  It doesn't bother me at all if Bezo's sells a billion or two every year.  He might need a new house and some beer money for the weekend lol.  Insider moves in a small cap catch my attention more.

IBM at $117.90 and its now at $150
Low at $89 and its at $125
CVS at $54 now $72

All the above is from this thread. Not bad huh lol

I agree there are quite a few stocks on this thread that are up 30%. Insider buys at T did encourage me to double down with good results. It's near impossible to draw any correlation though when the market has been in melt up mode for most of the past year. If it's tech or Ute the rising tide raised all ships.

You aren;t wrong Stockguru, I'm just being the naysayer I often am.

Ha ha, lets not back test that trading strategy because I'm afraid it's outperformed the past few quarters.
