CEO Ryan Cohen Reports a $10.78 Million GME Purchase

Two standout moves are turning heads:

📌 GameStop $GME

President, CEO, and Chairman Ryan Cohen filed a Form 4 revealing a $10.78 million purchase.

What makes this even more intriguing is the timing—right on the heels of GameStop floating a MicroStrategy-style Bitcoin strategy.

📌 Applied Materials $AMAT

President and CEO Gary E. Dickerson just stepped up with a $6.87 million open market buy in Applied Materials $AMAT—his first insider purchase since 2015.

When a top executive makes their first buy in nearly a decade, it’s not something to gloss over. 

When someone with the deepest insights into the business steps in with a sizable buy after a decade on the sidelines, it’s a message worth listening to.
