Insider Data - Week Ending 07/17/2010

A very interesting week. Although some of the bellwethers did report great results but market was kind of on the edge and caved a bit towards the end of the week. Was it the passage of financial reform which wall street hates obviously or just that people are turning bearish - again after a week or so long rally. Time will tell.

Insiders have not shown much enthusiasm during the week. There have been some sales by insiders pushing the sell to buy ratio up during past week. Frankly, what else you expect in this jittery market. Perhaps it is the time for the economy to show that it can stand on its own and only then market would perform better. One thing is sure, short term, it is traders market. So investors (read mom&Pop investors) should tread cautiously.
