Insider buying has been proven to have significant predictive power for stock prices – which is why we like to make a list of possible "insider" stocks to buy.
No one knows more about the condition and prospects of a business than the chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO). When insiders like them buy stocks in the open market of the companies they control, the stock often outperforms the broader market for the next several years.
According to Nejat Seyhun, a professor and researcher in the field of insider trading at the University of Michigan, when insiders are buying shares in their own companies, the stock tends to outperform the total market by 8.9% over the next 12 months.

We've already reviewed a number of the seven catalysts, or "sparks," I look for in a company before I recommend it to subscribers of my Small-Cap Rocket Alert.
Industry rotation… big contracts… earnings revisions…
Finding just one of these "sparks" can lead you to extreme upside potential… But identifying two or more "lighting up" the same stock is even better.
So today I want to give you an eighth spark – one that just unveiled a potential 1,300% biotech gain for my readers last week. Then I'm going to show you how to find it on your own.
It's easy, once you know how to read this form...

This year activist investors have been busier than ever, but they're just getting started.
That's because conditions in the market right now couldn't be any more ideal for activist investing, and the hedge fund managers who do this sort of thing are not known for letting opportunities go to waste.
The man who wrote the book on activist investing, Carl Icahn, said as much in a Nov. 4 statement to Icahn Enterprises LP (Nasdaq: IEP) shareholders.

The bull market has continued this week – the Dow Jones Industrial Average set a new record high yesterday, closing out at 15,744, and the S&P 500 is just a point below an all-time high at 1,770.49.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a developing country with a rising middle class must be in want of a higher standard of living.
In other words: Emerging economies want more stuff, they want better stuff, and they're willing to pay for it… and this is as true for medicine as for luxury cars and Levi's.
That's why these economies are driving the bulk of growth in the global pharmaceutical market.
We've identified the handful of companies best-positioned to take advantage of this...
