The Art of Investing: Insider trading


Overview

""Insider trading is legal once the material information has been made public, at which time the insider has no direct advantage over other investors. The SEC, however, still requires all insiders to report all their transactions. So, as insiders have an insight into the workings of their company, it may be wise for an investor to look at these reports to see how insiders are legally trading their stock."" My additions to conventional insider trading Hopefully my additions improve the performance of this strategy that has already been proven to work most of the time. I add market timing to Insider Trading. You need to sell most stocks except contra ETFs before or during a market plunge and buy them back as indicated by the chart; I provide a simple marketing technique without charts. Diversify your portfolio. Keep 10 stocks for a portfolio less than a million. Ensure that there are not more than 3 stocks in the same sector. Keep 20 stocks for a portfolio over a million. Too many stocks would require more of your time that would be better spent in evaluating individual stocks. However, keeping too few stocks would impact your portfolio when one stock has a big loss. It is just a recommendation. Vary your holding size and holding period according to your time, your portfolio size and your knowledge in investing. Stick with stocks over $2, average daily volume over 12,000 shares (8,000 for stock prices over $20) and market cap over 200 million. Most big winners usually are in the price range between the $2 and $15 price and market cap between 200 million to 800 million. They represent the stocks that institutional investors are ignoring due to their restrictions. This is just a general guideline and there are always exceptions. Change them according to your requirements. I prefer to skip stocks from most emerging countries, especially the smaller companies, as I do not trust their financial statements. Ignore the subscription services or books claiming they are making over 30% consistently. Some even have examples of making 5,000%. Most likely they tell you their winners but not their losers. It is easy to pick up winners that fit their strategies, but they do not tell you the real performance. Check whether their portfolio uses cash, as it cannot be manipulated such as using the best prices of the day to trade. I bet that most portfolios consistently making over 30% are not real. Alternatively, they have 10 portfolios, and they only show you the one that makes a good profit. When they back test their strategies, they cheat their performances with survivor bias (i.e. those bankrupt stocks are not in the historical database). If their returns are that great, do you think they will share their secrets with you? Many made a great fortune, but lost it all on a bad bet. So, the turtle investors who make small profits consistently fare far better than making millions in a year and losing it all in the next year. Market timing and diversifying our portfolio are our tools and they will beat the market in the long run. Size: 75 pages (6*9). Last update: 04/2022
