What Insider Buying Actually Tells You Before You Invest

Why insider buying is one of the most underused pieces of publicly available information in retail investing and how to read it correctly before it becomes obvious to everyone else.

When a senior executive buys shares of their own company with their own personal money, something important has happened. Not because they know something illegal. Because they know the business better than anyone outside it, they have evaluated everything they are legally permitted to know, and they have decided the stock at the current price is a compelling use of their own capital.

That decision carries a weight that no analyst report, no news headline, and no social media opinion can replicate. And it is published for anyone willing to look.

In this episode we break down exactly what insider buying signals, the three types of insider activity and which one actually matters, and how to use insider data as part of a complete evaluation framework rather than a standalone buy signal.

• Why insider buying is the chef eating at their own restaurant on their day off
