Insider transactions have always drawn market attention as it’s now a well-known fact that when insiders are piling into a stock, the odds of it going higher in the future are pretty bright. Academics all over the world have conducted decades’ worth of research to reach this conclusion. For example, Mervyn King and Aisla Roell at the London School of Economics analyzed insider purchases in the UK stock market from January 1986 through August 1987.

Insider Trades Post Strong Returns in the Long Term

A total of 52 stocks in the dataset posted a 53% return in excess of The Financial Times-Actuaries All Share Index when evaluated one year after insider purchases. These returns shrunk to just about 3% when the time window was narrowed to one month following the insider trade date. That means insiders are long-term investors and they pile into their company shares based on information and growth catalysts that are expected to show their impact in the long term.

How Can Outsides Profit from Insider Trades Triggered by “Special Information”

Another research paper entitled The Linkage between Insider Trading Activities, Market Efficiency, and Stock Information Content cites an extremely useful study, published in 1968 by James H. Lorie and Victor Niederh, which takes a closer look at the connection between insider trading and stock returns. The study, which analyzed 200 large companies during the period from 1962 through 1968, found that insiders do operate with “special information.” However, mimicking insider trades are only profitable in the long term. The results showed that trades with 8-month holding periods “had large returns after transaction cost being taken into account.”

Insiders Don’t Always Enjoy “Superior Success”

However, paying attention to insider trades is a not always profitable. For example, the research by James H. Lorie and Victor Niederh randomly chose 30 companies and analyzed their data and returns from 1961-1964 and during 1957-1960. The results did not show insiders’ tendencies to trade with “superior success.” However, the researchers said complementing insider trades with “proper and prompt” analysis of data and research is useful.

A Vicious Cycle: Insiders Profiting From Market Reaction to Insider Trades?

Over the past several decades the market seems to have accepted that whenever insiders buy a stock it’s bound to go up and when insiders are selling a stock it’s headed for declines in the future. This assumption has in turn created a new opportunity for insiders: they often play the market by profiting from stock movements in response to insider trading activity. Insiders buy or sell their stock to cause a market response to generate profits, creating a vicious circle. This phenomenon was seen by researchers Dan Givoly and Dan Palmon in a study where they analyzed 68 companies listed on the AMEX from 1973 to 1975.

The paper The Linkage between Insider Trading Activities talked about this study:

“The study focused on observing the association between insider transactions and subsequent news disclosure to estimate and detect transactions that yield abnormal returns but did not find any consistent result to show that insiders exploit information about forthcoming news disclosure would realize abnormal gain. However, the result indicated that a significant abnormal return is produced as a result of the trades themselves, promoting the conjecture that public investors accept the superior knowledge and imitate the insiders’ trading behaviors (Givoly and Palmon, 86). In other words, the authors suggested that insiders’ gain might take place after public investors conduct transactions triggered by insiders.”

The vast majority will be in the United States. Now for an update on soquelitinib for atopic dermatitis, the first immune disease indication we are evaluating. In April, we initiated patient enrollment in the first patient cohort of the trial. There is high interest in our trial from physicians due to several attractive features of soquelitinib. First, this is a first in class drug with a novel mechanism of action. Soquelitinib acts upstream by blocking Th2 and Th17 cells and thereby results in inhibition of many different cytokines involved in disease.

Second, it is an oral therapy and in our cancer studies has been shown to have very good safety profile and third, it may have broad utility across many different autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and this trial may prove provide proof of concept for the treatment of other immune diseases. The trial is designed to enroll 64 patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis that have progressed on at least one prior therapy. The study is randomized, placebo controlled and blinded to patients and treating physicians. There will be four sequentially enrolled cohorts of 16 patients, with patients in each cohort being randomized three to one to different dosing regimens of soquelitinib or placebo given for 28 days. The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability and efficacy is measured using investigator global assessments and the clinically validated measurement of improvement in eczema area and severity index score, also known as EASI.”

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
