Welcome to edition 320 of Insider Weekends.
Insider buying decreased last week with insiders buying $78.59 million of stock compared to $118.43 million in the week prior. Selling remained unchanged with insiders selling $2.12 billion of stock last week compared to $2.12 billion in the week prior.
Sell/Buy Ratio: The insider Sell/Buy ratio is calculated by dividing the total insider sales in a given week by total insider purchases that week. The adjusted ratio for last week increased to 26.92. In other words, insiders sold almost 27 times as much stock as they purchased. The Sell/Buy ratio this week compares unfavorably with the prior week, when the ratio stood at 17.88. We are calculating an adjusted ratio by removing transactions by funds and companies and trying as best as possible only to retain information about insiders and 10% owners who are not funds or companies.
