Insider Selling Volume at Highest Level Ever Tracked

Insider Selling Volume at Highest Level Ever Tracked

www.cnbc.com

The largest companies in three of the most important leading sectors of the market have seen their executives classified as insiders sell more than 120 million shares of stock over the last six months. Top executives at these very same companies bought just 38,000 shares over that same time period, making for an eye-popping sell to buy ratio of 3,177 to 1.

It looks like the insiders are getting ready to bug out. They are cashing in their stock options at a staggering rate.
3,177 sells to every 1 buy. That's unbelievable. They know what is coming. The house of cards is going to come crashing down so they are getting out while they can.

The grand total for the three sectors are “as awful as we have ever seen since we began doing this exercise years ago,” said Newman, who was ahead on such trends as the dangers of high-frequency trading and ETFs before the ‘Flash Crash’. “Clearly, insiders are seeing great value only in cash. Their actions speak volumes for the veracity for the current rally.”

Newman, who is also a favorite commentator of Barron’s columnist Alan Abelson, sees the insider selling as just the latest reason, along with the mortgage foreclosure mess and fully invested mutual fund managers with no fresh powder to put to work, to be cautious on the market.

“At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we expect a significant correction,” said the newsletter editor.

I expect more than just a correction, I crash is more like it.
It has been a good run up for the markets but if you are still in maybe it is time to consider getting out.

There was a guy by the name of Chris Kacher on Coast To Coast AM last night talking about how the behavior of the market can predict major events, like 9/11 for instance. Looks like the rats are leaving the sinking ship.

All this equals: store food, water, guns and ammo. Beyond that know who your friends are have a family plan to gather in case of emergency.

Market "Correction"
Like saying Flight 800 had a flight "correction", right into the ground.
China will not be happy about eating piles of worthless T-bills either.

But what he really said is follow your strategy and don't listen to all the histeria. The News tends to sensationalize for higher ratings.

the impasse between the Obama admin
bank fraud investigation and wall street banks
is getting ready to crash the system.
If you have money tied up in the market
still, ur a fool. Get out !!! That's what they
are doing according to this article.

Look for a false flag between now and mid-November
to cover the crash. The NWO will be offered to
the masses at that time as a savior. Do NOT
fall for that alternative else you will feed the
same snake we have had for over 100 yrs.
Make the right choices and we can
survive, make the wrong ones and be
forever a slave. Timing is the key.

Hide your 401k, hide your pension, hide your IRA cuz they be raping everybody around here.

Buy gold.

ONLY if it is delivered
dont buy a paper that says you have gold.
Get the physical gold. You have no gold
if its only on paper.

the insider 'selling' is just a function of the HFT programs...
heck, they got multi thousands or even millions of option shares in their back pockets...

don't you believe for an instant that the metrics are telling the public there is a mass
unloading -never to return again- selloff by the insider elites....


sheeze

the elites are transporting their
digitized assets to physical assets.
You should take notice !!!

you are forgetting one very important factor,
foreign investor variables and foreign
markets.

The caution was to look farher out than six months to the twelve month horizon, which thedse things typically precede.
The byword here is caution, and saint i believe that youve hit it...timing is everything.....

now if only we knew how often stuff like this happens, or had some kind of reference. normal ppl on here cant really comprehend what those numbers mean exactly. is shtf? doubt it. could someone knowledgeable come in confirm that this is indeed unusual? Maybe they're just manipulating the markets in some way through those sales.

you see, we often get threads on ats that assure us doom is right around the corner by using big numbers etc, but people buy and sell that crap every day by hunders of thousands of shares, probably millions, so what do these numbers really mean? is there anyone who has been observing the market long enough to tell us if this is unusual, as in highly unusual, or slightly unusual?

an analysis is needed here...
to see if the foreign markets are the ones' causing the increased volume (VIX)... or its just
HFT programs that the elite execs are suddenly employing...
i personally do not have that data

with all the QE & anticpated QE2 after the elections...
the foreign markets are either keeping out of the daily trading, or else already have sold
their positions in the DOW/NYSE...
i suspect that they have long ago divested & that is the reason for the shallow number of
shares trading in the last 6-10 months...
to wit: its only been the 'traders' and 'fund managers' contributing in the volume area....
up till now!


with commodities going manic, the insider elites in the Corps. are utilizing the (HFT) High-
Frequency-Trading experts to eek a penny - two pennies out of 100k blocks of shares,
then to buy them back in an eternal game of arbitage like trading...

hell the elite execs can afford the pricy HFT experts because they are assured another year
of record bonuses
even as 50 million former middle class get FoodStamps or 99 weeks of jobless benefits
& a pat on the back from the mortgage foreclosure servers !

Gold and Silver have gone through are going through a period of consolidation, meaning there are a lot of people who have been selling there contracts. meanwhile the price of gold has not broken back through the 1300 USD mark and is hanging out around 1325.

Info from GATA was that the ratio of physical gold to contract paper gold was 50:1, meaning for every actual gold ounce held, the banks trade and claim to 50 more imaginary ones, so when this come out and people start demanding physical delivery look for the spike. big time!

Trading information now openly talking about currency wars! UK news report possible re-entry into recession. sooo lets wait and see. but in the mean time. no harm in protecting what you have

What happens when the TPTB decide we can't own gol d like a couple decades ago during the crash ? Barter/ trade in goods will be the real power of any household. Just a thought about the times that we are told is coming.

Even if you have bullion or coins and you need to liquidate some of it....who's going to buy it?


Real gold will be fools gold as well.

I bought into the precious metals hype and now with 1300 gold and 23.00 silver spot.....no one is buying!!

I'd very much like to see them try
to enforce that one these days.
It's one thing to take a populace's gold
when they're not expecting it, but now
they are expecting it. There will be massive
resistance if they attempt to steal the gold back.
Just my 2 pence worth.

edit on 27-10-2010 by St Udio because: oops

See this is what most the people on this thread forget.... Unless they are trading on a daily basis, and have been for at least 2 quarters, they have zero clue of which they speak.

Your analysis is spot on!
