Download or read book Insider Trading and Sentiment Trading written by Karl Ludwig Keiber and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies strategic insider trading in continuous time when sentiment traders are present in the securities market. In equilibrium, we characterize both the insider's trading strategy and the market maker's pricing rule. We find that both the insider's trading aggressiveness and the insider's unconditional expected profits are decreasing in the informational content of sentiment trading. The impact of the sentiment traders' trading activity is reported to be non-monotonic. We identify securities markets in which the sentiment traders' trading activity increases or decreases both the insider's trading aggressiveness and the insider's expected profits, respectively. The securities market's liquidity is found to be independent of the informativeness of sentiment trading. But, the depth of the securities market increases in the sentiment traders' trading activity. Finally, sentiment trading does not affect the price discovery process adversely. We conclude that sentiment trading does not impose any negative externality to the securities market at all. Caring about market quality, regulators should not be worried about sentiment trading at all.

Download or read book Investment Intelligence from Insider Trading written by H. Nejat Seyhun and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000-02-28 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to profit from information about insider trading. The term insider trading refers to the stock transactions of the officers, directors, and large shareholders of a firm. Many investors believe that corporate insiders, informed about their firms' prospects, buy and sell their own firm's stock at favorable times, reaping significant profits. Given the extra costs and risks of an active trading strategy, the key question for stock market investors is whether the publicly available insider-trading information can help them to outperform a simple passive index fund. Basing his insights on an exhaustive data set that captures information on all reported insider trading in all publicly held firms over the past twenty-one years—over one million transactions!—H. Nejat Seyhun shows how investors can use insider information to their advantage. He documents the magnitude and duration of the stock price movements following insider trading, determinants of insiders' profits, and the risks associated with imitating insider trading. He looks at the likely performance of individual firms and of the overall stock market, and compares the value of what one can learn from insider trading with commonly used measures of value such as price-earnings ratio, book-to-market ratio, and dividend yield.

Book excerpt: We examine the relation between managerial trading and market sentiment. We investigate whether managers' trades are associated with changes in market sentiment, and we find they are negatively related. We then explore cross-sectional differences in managerial trading and find trading against sentiment is strongest in firms that are difficult-to-value, such as small firms and loss firms. Our results are robust to controlling for other determinants of insider trading, including insiders' tendency to be contrarian investors, wealth diversification concerns, tax-motivated selling, and CEO overconfidence.

Download or read book Insider Trading written by Yun Ma and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate executives are prohibited from trading on material nonpublic information. In 2000, the SEC enacted Rule 10b5-1, which allows insiders to preplan their transactions before being aware of material nonpublic information. However, do corporate executives subsequently influence the timing and content of information disclosure to benefit their preplanned trades? We examine cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) around insider transactions and document patterns suggesting that insiders are "perfect" timers. That is, stock prices go up (go down) prior to but drop (back up) after insider sells (buys). Further classifying insider trades into preplanned (routine) trades and non-preplanned (opportunistic) trades, we show that the stock return patterns hold not only for non-preplanned (opportunistic) trades but also for preplanned (routine) trades. Using 8-K filings as a proxy of corporate discretionary disclosure, we find that there are significantly more 8-K filings prior to insider trades than during normal times. Moreover, based on the sentiment score from RavenPack News Analytics, we find that analyst reports and corporate news releases both have significant explanatory power of stock returns around insider transactions. The evidence documented in our study cannot rule out the hypothesis that corporate executives influence the timing and content of information disclosure to benefit their preplanned trades. In the second part of my dissertation, we investigate in insider trading's implications on stock returns. The literature posits that insiders are contrarian, i.e., buy stocks when they are under-valued and sell stocks when they are over-valued. In addition, insider transactions contain information about future firm fundamentals. As such, insider trading helps improve stock price efficiency and promote stock price discovery. In this study, we test the implications of both hypotheses. First, we follow the literature and identify undervalued and overvalued stocks and examine whether insider trades help correct mispricing of these stocks. Second, we examine whether insider trades contain more information about future firm fundamentals for mispriced stocks and the extent to which insider trades incorporate future fundamental information into stock prices. Our findings indicate that insider transactions play a role in correcting mispricing. However, the effect is significant mainly for overvalued stocks over short-term and undervalued stocks over long-term. In addition, we find that insider transactions contain information about long-term future firm fundamentals mainly for overvalued stocks. Nevertheless, our analysis suggests that insider transactions only incorporate a small fraction of future firm fundamental information into stock prices. To sharpen our analysis, we exclude pre-scheduled or routine insider trades, which are believed to be less informed of stock valuation and replicate our empirical tests, and show that our main findings are consistent.
