Insider Trading – A Good Site for Information

This may not be new for some readers out there, but I came across a site via Digg.com that deals with insider trading. The site is Form 4 Oracle.

When we talk about insider trading in the context of security research, we are referring to monitoring the buying and selling activities of key people within a company (i.e. the CEO, CFO, directors, officers). As indicated on the Insider Trading Guide of the site, Peter Lynch’s quote summarizes how investors should look at insider trading:

Insiders might sell their shares for many reasons, but they buy for only one: they think the price will rise

A good example of a company that is seeing some insider buying is Coca-Cola. If you enter KO in the ticker box you will see a page that highlights a lot of insider buying. Good sign.

Keep in mind that insider trading info should be only one of the components you should be looking at when deciding to invest in a company.

    What an awesome site you have going here – very well done, interesting reading for sure. Lately I’ve been looking at constructing a “safer” portfolio after being primarily into oil and gas for the last couple years. I’ve come full circle you might say. It started when I crunched the numbers on my mutual funds oh, about ten years ago. The good news was I had more than I started out with. The bad news was that when you added in the contributions I had made, the gain was beer and pizza money. I the found a book “Stop Buying Mutual Funds” and I haven’t looked back. Coincidentally, I began with an account at Canadian Shareowners. I still have my IGM, TD and GWO, now with TD-CT. I left them because I thought their offerings were limited. The last couple years have been good for my returns but now I’m looking to protect those gains. I’m a big O&G fan and will continue to focus on those stocks. I think some O&G exposure is a must in today’s world. Have you looked at Peyto? It has been very good to me over the years. It has excellent management and is run rather more like a dividend stock than a trust. Being an Alberta boy and working in the industry some oilsands is also a must. Suncor is also a big holding of mine. Check out a Nexen – soon to begin production at Long Lake, or CNRL, or for your 10% fund a company with long term prospects like UTS. I’m also curious to know what if anything you have set up for RESPs. Look forward to dropping by again. Take care.

    PS: Best investment advice I ever read – “The only person who cares about your money is you.”

If you're stuck in debt and trying to get caught up, don't resort to payday loans. They almost always have high interest rates, so if you don't pay them back immediately you will just end up in even more debt. In these tough times, it's better just to learn how to be more frugal with your money.
