In the financial world, there are tons of metrics investors can use to track Mr. Market. A duo of the most under-the-radar are hedge fund and insider trading movement. At Insider Monkey, our research analyses have shown that, historically, those who follow the best picks of the best money managers can trounce their index-focused peers by a solid amount (see just how much).
Equally as crucial, bullish insider trading sentiment is another way to look at the world of equities. As the old adage goes: there are plenty of incentives for a bullish insider to get rid of shares of his or her company, but only one, very obvious reason why they would buy. Many academic studies have demonstrated the impressive potential of this method if piggybackers understand where to look (learn more here).
