Welcome back Mooers!
In today discussion, we will talk about the events for the past 1 month of 2022. It is also the 15th article and the last article about stock options for my MooMoo goal for Q1 2022 .
Without further ado, let’s begin our Lunar New Year 2022 story!
January 2022 was a very exciting month to most Mooers. We witness several stocks breaking records such as Tesla and Apple, follow by $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ dropping ...

$Matterport (MTTR.US)$ has been my top performer over the last few moths on another platform. The last week though has been a bit rough .. However, nice to add to my position on sale.

According to the principle of value investing, people should pick stocks that appear to be trading for less than their book value. Which means buy when the stock price drops. There's another group of people who trade oppositely. They follow the market trend to buy and sell. The more a stock price has risen, the more they buy-in.
So which way is more "right"? The fact is, the reality is all grey areas. There are very few black and white answers. Don't rid yourself of ideology and narrowness. There are hundreds of ways to get rich if you stay open-minded. Different methods can be used in different scenarios. 
Choose your stand plz~

Recently, reports about cashing out by American business leaders have stirred the nerves of investors. It has reached its peak when the CEOs of $Tesla (TSLA.US)$and $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ started selling their stock while their company's stock prices were hovering near new records.
$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ Chief Executive Satya Nadella sold about half of his shares in the company last week, reported by Wall Street Journal on Nov. 29.
The filing of Mr. Nadella’s transaction was made public on the Wednesday before the long Thanksgiving weekend. The transaction yielded more than $285 million for Mr. Nadella. This is the single-largest stock sale for Mr. Nadella, according to InsiderScore.
How did the market react?
Interestingly, MSFT has fallen 2% since LAST Wednesday, while $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ has fallen 2.64% over the same period.
Ben Silverman, director of research at InsiderScore, said the sale is similar to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's recent stock sales. Mr. Musk took to Twitter on Nov. 7 pledging to sell 10% of his stockholdings. The Tesla CEO was taking advantage of gains in the company’s stock price, Mr. Silverman said.
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$'s stock price has fallen by about 7%, and its market value has shrunk by nearly $100 billion from that point.
Does CEOs’ sell-off mean it’s time to sell?
Action speaks louder than words. Of course, the behavior of business leaders will affect investors' confidence in the company. At least, for better or worse, news usually makes stocks more volatile in the short term.
However, their actions are not always noteworthy.
For one thing, insiders may have their own reason each time they sell stock. As to Nadella, analysts said the move could be related to Washington state instituting a 7% tax for long-term capital gains beginning at the start of next year for anything exceeding $250,000 a year.
For another, insider trading shouldn't be the only source of information, because not every executive is correct each time. In the long run, the best option is to research in-depth.
News about the sale of stocks by executives is reported from time to time. To paint a clearer picture of their effects, let's check the performance of markets and those stocks:
1. The broad market has continuously set new highs since the pandemic.
2. Taking Amazon as an example, after the CEO sold shares, the stock price has still climbed higher.
The same story also applies to $Pfizer (PFE.US)$, whose CEO sold stocks last November.
3. It's not all good news.   $GameStop (GME.US)$ CEO announced to sell stocks in April. Here is how the stock price performed since then.
The bottom line
1. The CEO's sell-off may help you predict the future volatility of stock prices in the short term.
2. There is no obvious correlation between long-term stock performance and CEO selling.
3. Insider trading should not be the only source of information. Before making wise investment decisions, we should rely on in-depth research to check the company’s financial statements, annual reports, and other public opinions.
As a rule, value investors generally prefer to invest in high-quality companies with fair prices. The question is, how to identify the value of a company?
