• Insider Trading Buy Sell Stock Transaction Reports and Profit Opportunities Inside Barrons

In the early 1990's I was a beginner investor trader with a few years under my belt. I was looking for some new investing trading ideas for the following week. The weekend came along with my Barrons print subscription. I sat down to relax with that weeks latest Barrons.

At the time, I had been hearing about buying stocks based on what insiders of the company were doing. Insiders like the CEO, and the rest of the board of directors. When insiders buy and sell stock of their own company they have to report it in a timely manner to the SEC so it becomes public information. With insiders directly related to the company and knowing whats going on with the inner workings of the company, that can be a possible good chance to profit from. But even insiders can get things wrong too, so be careful also.

Near the back of the Barrons was the Insider transaction section. I reviewed the insider tranactions of that week and I found Orion Satellite, a small satellite company where the CEO had just accumulated $5 million of his own stock in two trading days the week before with the price not increasing very much. I found that very interesting. This CEO made a very large bet of his own money on his own company stock, the price didn't move much during his buys, and there was no news on this company. I can understand and insider buying 100 or 1000 shares of his own stock as an investment from time to time, but I was blown away to see this CEO buying 500,000 shares of his own stock to the tune of $5M. My curiosity now turned to possible big-time profit opportunity from the possibly that something was brewing.

I scoured the limited resources of the internet at the time for more information on this company but could not find much. The following week I decided to buy as many shares as I could afford at the time soley based on the CEO making his big bet.

I still had no idea why or what was happening for this CEO insider to buy so much of his stock, but I bought in at 9 3/4 in which the CEO had bought in between 9 3/8ths to 9 5/8ths two weeks previous. Once I was in, I monitored the stock everyday all day as I had a huge chunk of my lifes money in it. Volume started to pick up from its 100,000 less average daily turnover to 100k to 500k in volume now, but the price was still not moving. Two weeks went buy with the price not moving very much.

On the weekend after two weeks of being in the stock and it going nowhere I started wondering if I should possibly sell it and go find another investing trading idea. On the following Monday morning, I turned on the computer and logged into my trading account, and surprised to see the price of Orion gap up to 13.75 from the previous friday 10.50. I immediately hit the sell button and made the fastest 35% plus return of my life. Then right after I found out why the price popped, Loral Space Communications had bought out Orion. Thank you Loral!

Watching what insiders are doing when buying and selling stock, can help you survive and profit big-time. It's not fool-proof. Even insider trading statistics have shown that sometimes insiders are too early in buying or too late in selling when it comes to their own stock. Nonetheless, paying attention to information like this might get you in on a big up or down move to profit from. I recommend it as one of your many tools to invest and trade the stocks.
