 Insiders Are Buying: 4 Market Signals You Can't Ignore While retail investors are guessing where the market will go, insiders are voting with their money. Here's what the analysis of recent weeks showed: 1. Coordination — a key signal When 2+ insiders of the same company buy within a 7-day window, it's a cluster buy. Such patterns historically precede growth in 70% of cases. Currently, such clusters are being recorded in the hemp/cannabis sector (GRWG, SMG, TPB) — institutions are entering well before legalization. 2. Turning Point Brands (TPB) — upside 20%+ Alliance Global holds a Buy rating with a target of $130 against current ~$108. Insiders continued buying even after the target was lowered from $135. Typical behavior before a reversal. 3. Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) — analysts downgrade, insiders buy Classic divergence: Jefferies lowered the target, but SMG insiders increased positions in April. When smart money goes against analysts, I bet on smart money. 4. GrowGeneration (GRWG) — new product + insider appetite Char Coir is releasing a next-generation product, and insiders were actively buying before the announcement. Coincidence? I think not. My strategy for May: — Monitor cluster buys via OpenInsider — Filter out companies with divergence 'analysts down → insiders up' — Don't chase meme stocks — only real CEO/CFO purchases Data: SEC Form 4, OpenInsider, InsiderMonkey. Not an investment recommendation. What signal are you tracking in May?
