Insider Data - Week ending 11/21/2009

Insider activity past couple of weeks has been subdued when you compare it with torrential activity of first week of November. Weekly sell to buy ratios has gone down week over week during past three weeks. But when sell to buy ratio is averaged over a longer period of time (8+ weeks), it gives the same grim picture, insiders are still very bearish. The table below gives the snippet of sell to buy ratios for up to 13 weeks.









Top market wide, net transactions are shown in the table below -



















Finally, the industries that are showing accumulation by insiders are shown in the chart below. Technical and System Software Industry has been the top accumulator in past 2 weeks amounting to almost 14% of all net purchases by insiders. Specialty retail and resorts & Casinos are showing some accumulation by insiders also. Going into Thanks Giving weekend next week, every one will be keenly looking at retail sales data. Does the insider trend in past two weeks indicate anything useful? We probably won't have to wait very long to verify that.

    I think you can get these filings free in realtime via RSS, probably what the site does.

    You are right. It depends upon how much details you are looking for. If you are looking at individual filings only, sure sec.gov site does a great job. But when you want to analyze thousands of filings every day and want to monitor the trends in real time, you would probably need to do some extra work. So it depends on what you are looking for.
