What does it mean

Insiders' activities are considered forward-looking signals of the company's prospects due to their access to privileged information.

From 2003 to this year, insiders have bought more during market downturns. The peaks of insiders' daily buys occurred in November 2008, August 2011, and March 2020, and after each one, the S&P 500 index entered a bullish period. The idea is that insiders buy when they believe the company is undervalued, based on their deep understanding of the company.

Insider Activity data can be used as a timing signal. By tracking insider activity, traders can follow the market trend more closely and choose better trading opportunities.
