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.
Download or read book Trading with the Insiders written by Jonathan Moreland and published by Bloomberg Press. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed guide to profitably piggybacking on the trading moves made by corporate insiders Today, "insider data" is readily available for every publicly available stock. And while stories of illegal "insider trading" abound, the fact is that it is completely legal for corporate executives and directors to freely buy and sell shares of their own firm, as long as they report their transactions to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Given that company insiders presumably have a better handle on company performance and prospects than outside investors, these transactions may provide you with valuable clues about the future of the company's stock price. Now, in Trade with the Insiders, author Jonathan Moreland, an expert in the analysis of insider stock transaction data, reveals how you can use this information to improve your trading performance. This reliable resource will help investors track how "insiders" trade their own companies' shares by following the Form 4s filed at the SEC. Along the way, it will skillfully guide you through both the how's and why's of making the most of this profitable data stream. Describes how to distinguish between different types of insider transactions The author has used insider data as a major component in his stock recommendations, which have outperformed the S&P 500 index by more than fivefold over the last decade Discusses how to zero in on those transactions that are most likely indicative of a company's future prospects In today's dynamic market, actions speak louder than words. So if you want to improve your trading performance, look at the way corporate executives handle the shares of their company and turn those insights into profits for your portfolio.

Download or read book Profit from Insider Trading written by Tony Pow and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-10 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the insider purchases could be very profitable. No one knows the company and the sector better than the insiders of the company.The following represent good hints and traps of using this information.* Ignore most sales as insiders sell the stocks for different reasons such as diversification, buying a mansion, divorce settlement, etc.* Only consider sales if insiders are dumping most of the owned stocks. In this case, you want to short the stock.* Consider the net purchases (= Total Purchases - Total Sales).* Only consider purchases close to the market prices.* Ignore all options.* True insiders are officers such as CEO and CFO.* 'Cluster purchases' is a better indicator.* Consider market timing (Chapter 2-3). When the market is going to plunge, all stocks most likely will go down.* Consider basic fundamentals (Chapter 6-12). If the fundamentals are bad, the stock most likely will not rise. There are exceptions such as approval of a new drug or unexpected profit.* Consider technical analysis, charts (Chapter 15-17).This book guides you step-by-step to make the entire process profitable and easy to follow. First, it provides you with the best, free web sites to obtain insiders' purchases and shows you how to separate real gems from garbage for maximum appreciation potential. I have two performance summaries (Chapter 1): one based on my stocks with insiders' purchases and one from a web site. Both prove that following insiders' purchases is profitable. Most chapters besides Insider Trading are copied from my other book, Debunk the Myths in Investing. In other words, it is a simplified version of that book concentrating on insider trading. This book provides all the tools to be a successful insider trader.This book started with Market Timing. When the market is going to plunge, most stocks including those stocks with heavy insiders' purchases will lose values. Hence, do not buy any stocks and sell most stocks when you receive the exit signal. I have a simple chart to identify market plunges (Chapter 3). It depends on the stock data, so it will not identify the peaks and the bottoms precisely, but it will spare you for further losses and will instruct you when to reenter the market. It worked for the last two market crashes. It will detect the next crash, and hopefully it will give us enough time to react as the last two.The selected web site identifies stocks with insiders' purchases. Ignore those purchases that do not meet our requirements (Chapter 4-5). We should have identified a few stocks for further evaluation. I use fundamental metrics to ensure they are fundamentally sound. Many fundamental analyses are available free from many sites. Then look for intangibles and do a thorough qualitative analysis on each selected stock. There is no magic formula, but due diligence will pay off in the long run. This book does not promise overnight wealth. Other topics include how to set order prices, stop loss, tax considerations and a trade plan (Section IV). When to sell a stock is important (Chapter 12-14). Technical analysis is used sparingly but it could be very useful (Chapter 15-17). In some cases, it shows the uptrend of the stock before insiders' purchases. Periodically review your big losers and big gainers to see whether any lessons to be learned (Chapter 24).Updated: 12/2014 190 pages

Download or read book The Profits to Insider Trading written by Leslie A. Jeng and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the profits to insiders when they trade their company's stock. We construct a rolling purchase portfolio' that holds all shares purchased by insiders over the previous year and an analogous sale portfolio' that holds all shares sold by insiders over the previous year. We then analyze the returns to these value-weighted portfolios using performance-evaluation methods. This approach allows us to study the returns to insider transactions beginning on the day after their execution, and is free of the statistical difficulties that plague event studies on long-horizon returns. Using a comprehensive sample of reported insider transactions from 1975 - 1996, we find that the purchase portfolio earns abnormal returns of about 40 basis points per month, with about one-sixth of these abnormal returns accruing within the first five days after the initial transaction, and one-third within the first month. The sale portfolio does not earn abnormal returns. Our portfolio-based approach also allows for straightforward decompositions of the purchase and sale portfolios by various characteristics. We find that the abnormal returns to insider trades in small firms are not significantly different from those in large firms, and that top executives do not earn higher abnormal returns than do other insiders
