What You Just Saw (And Why It Matters)
In this short video, you will see the foundation of how we think about insider activity.
Not as a shortcut.
Not as a gimmick.
But as a signal when used correctly.
Most investors hear “insider trading” and immediately think one of two things:
It must be illegal
Or it must be random and unreliable
Neither is true.
Corporate insiders are required to disclose their trades publicly. The information is there for anyone willing to look. The edge comes from knowing which trades matter and why.
That’s what this video introduces.
Specifically, you will learn:
Why not all insider buys are meaningful
How timing and context change the odds
Why insiders often act before earnings, acquisitions, or major announcements
And why most people misread insider data entirely
This framework is important, because without it, insider activity can be misleading instead of helpful.
What This Short Video Didn’t Cover (On Purpose)
This overview was meant to give you orientation, not mastery.
What it didn’t fully unpack are the things that separate noise from opportunity, such as:
The exact filters we use to ignore low-quality insider trades
How we identify high-conviction insiders versus routine buyers
Why cluster buying and first-time buys matter more than headlines
How insider signals interact with broader market and sector conditions
And what real case studies look like before the stock moves
That’s intentional.
Those pieces require more context, more examples, and more clarity than a short video allows.
If You Want to Go Deeper
If this video was interesting and you want to understand how this actually works in practice, I recorded a longer session that walks through everything in detail.
In that video, you’ll see:
Multiple real-world case studies
How insiders bought before major moves
The exact types of insider trades we track and which ones we ignore
Why academic research supports this approach
And how we use insider signals as part of a repeatable process
It’s the next logical step if you want to move from understanding the concept to recognizing real opportunities as they form.
One Note Before You Click
This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s a full breakdown designed to show you how this works in the real world, including the discipline required to avoid false signals.
If you’ve ever wondered why certain stocks seem to move “out of nowhere,” this will help answer that question.
