How to track insider trading (and why it beats analyst ratings)

Someone in the community asked recently how we can track insider buying and selling. Actually It is one of the few edges left for us retail investors. Insiders have a massive information advantage, and while they can sell for many reasons (taxes, divorce, buying a boat), they only buy on the open market for one reason 🙂 they think the stock is undervalued

I put together a breakdown of the specific tools I use to track this:

• The Source: All data comes from SEC Form 4 filings.
• The Tool: I use OpenInsider to filter for "Cluster Buys" (when 3+ insiders buy at the same time).
• The Trap: Ignore option exerises. Only look for open market ourchases. You want to see them reach into their pocket, not just receive a bonus.

I wrote a full guide on how to filter this data and what specific red flags to look for. I can share if interested
