Insider Buying and Selling Charts
Are the ‘insiders’ buying or selling into this recent rally? Phil’s Stock World takes a look at what’s happening behind the scenes on the recent market rally – let’s take a look.
Per Phil’s article:
Take a look at the charts summarizing insider buying ($ amount and number of shares) during different periods and comparing insider buying and insider selling. You can see insider buying is at a low, whether measured in $ or numbers, and the ratio insider buying to insider selling is also at the lower end of its normal range.
Daily Insider Buying Dollars (Amount):
Number of Insiders Buying:
Daily Insider Buy/Sell Ratio:
The take-away is that insiders are SELLING into this rally, rather than buying – which begs the question, “What is driving the market higher?”
On the S&P 500 daily chart, we have a volume divergence, breadth divergence, negative momentum divergence, trendline break (bearish), and break-out of a rising wedge – none of which is bullish or encouraging for investors. Mish’s describes these and more in his post “Technical Indicators Scream Caution.”

if we sign up for Phil’s Stock World is every month free or just the recent one?
Anon,
I should have clarified – every month is free – it’s as if you subscribed for $49 per month but because of the promotional code, the subscription is free. I’ve been trying out the service this month and agreed to the promotion because the articles/updates have been timely and informative.

I think the free membership is a good way to check out the service to see what they have to offer. I’ve enjoyed the timeliness of the updates – what I’m discussing here is intraday updates, analysis, and commentaries. To my knowledge, the free membership does not grant you access to his portfolios or premium content.
Readers, feel free to share your experiences – positive or negative.
I’m very protective of what I promote so if the feedback is bad, I’ll stop the promotion immediately.
I appreciate your feedback – no personal attacks please to Phil or anyone.
Cory :
You mentioned that you are seeing “Breadth divergence” in S & P 500. Could you please explain this a bit more ?
Corey,
I was a member for a few months about a couple years ago. I saw no evidence of number fudging. Not saying it doesn’t exist; I just didn’t see it, and I did follow some of his trades.
Previous comment was from Win.
They always say to sell the rallys is a downtrend. Well technically we are in a downtrend, and technically this is a rally.
