This is worrisome because corporate insiders â officers, directors and the largest shareholders â presumably know more about their companiesâ prospects than the rest of us do. If they were confident that the shares of their companies would soon be trading markedly higher, they wouldnât be selling them now.
Yet selling they are â at an alarming pace.
Consider an insider indicator calculated by the Vickers Weekly Insider Report, published by Argus Research. The indicator is a ratio of all shares that insiders have recently sold in the open market to the number that they have purchased.
For the week that ended last Friday, this sell-to-buy ratio for NYSE-listed shares listed stood at 9.20-to-1. That means insiders of these companies, on average, were selling more than nine shares of their firmsâ stock for every one that they were buying.
