What counts as insider trading activity?

In this context, “insider” means company officers, directors, and large beneficial owners reporting trades on Form 4. Open-market buys and sells are usually more informative than routine option exercises or tax-related dispositions.

Is insider buying a bullish signal?

Clustered open-market purchases by multiple executives can be constructive, especially after a sell-off. Single small buys—or sales for diversification and taxes—are weaker signals. Always combine with fundamentals and valuation.

Why do insiders sell?

Insiders sell for many non-bearish reasons: diversification, estate planning, scheduled 10b5-1 plans, or funding personal expenses. Focus on size, timing, pattern, and whether buying appears alongside selling.
