The market has become increasingly volatile as selling pressure spreads to the strongest stocks.
As bullish opportunities become more scarce, we’ve had to become more selective in terms of our long exposure.
This is because we’re trend followers. We want to be involved in uptrends, and as more and more uptrends come under pressure, we have fewer options. It’s as simple as that.
But when it comes to corporate insiders and activists, they actually become more active when stocks are under pressure. They love buying weakness.
So while there are fewer opportunities for trend followers like us, there is a growing list of opportunities for bargain-hunters like them.
As such, insiders have been very active in recent weeks as stocks continue to slide. But they don’t only buy downtrends. There has been some activity in names showing impressive relative strength as well.
Let’s talk about a handful of leading stocks that insiders have shown interest in recently.
One of the overarching themes since we launched the Inside Scoop and began writing about The Hot List each day has been the relentless interest in commodity stocks.
Coincidentally, these same stocks have exhibited incredible relative strength over this time period. It’s already been a few months, but we’re not seeing any signs of this trend slowing down.
We discussed a lot of these names during last week’s live strategy session. Click here to watch the replay and to download the accompanying chartbook.
