Insider Buying Check List


    Studies have shown that insiders have been able to outperform the market on their buys, but not on their sells.

     This screen searches companies that have had a "significant" level of insider buying-in this case those companies with at least three insider buys in the last six months.  Then it looks for companies that have had more shares of stock purchased by insiders than have been sold. The market cap must be greater than $50 million.  Over-the-counter (OTC) stocks are excluded, as are Financial Services and Real Estate Operations industries, which eliminates closed-end mutual funds and real-estate investment trusts (REITs). The number of shares purchased by insiders minus shares sold by insiders as a percentage of the overall number of shares outstanding must be at least 3% of the float.

     The next screen insures that the stock has not already made its move but is just beginning to do so.  The last screen insures EPS estimates for the current year are positive.

     To buy or sell strictly on what the insiders are doing is not a wise investment strategy. However, to ignore what the insiders are doing may be an investment mistake. Remember, insiders can sell their shares for a multitude of reasons. For the most part, however, insiders only buy because they expect to make money.
