Fresh SEC filings show: smart money is moving into specific sectors. Top 3 insider purchases today: Republic Services (RSG) — $100,121 Director Katharine Weymouth acquired 478 shares at $209.46. Republic Services is the second-largest waste management operator in the U.S. A six-figure purchase by a director is a strong bullish signal. The company shows steady revenue growth even amid high Fed rates. Why is this important for investors? Insider purchases are one of the most reliable predictors of growth.
