Insiders Show the Way in a Red-Hot Tape

Yesterday’s tape was red hot. In times like this, it’s especially important to look at what insiders are buying. 

Here are today’s standouts: 

We got two political filings for stocks in defensive groups from two different elected representatives. 

📌 Walmart $WMT

Rep. Debbie Dingell bought $15,000 to $50,000 worth of stock.

📌 Markel Group $MKL

Rep. April Delaney similarly disclosed a $15,000-to-$50,000 purchase, betting on this property and casualty insurance leader.

Another purchase in a defensive company that stood out:

📌 Dollar Tree $DLTR

Director William W. Douglas III filed a Form 4 disclosing a $520,822 buy—a strong signal in what’s become one of Wall Street's favorite “recession” stocks.
