Stocks
When everyone was selling in the late fall of 2008, insiders went on a historic shopping spree for stocks.
This turned out to remarkably profitable for Canadian insiders with the S&P/TSX Composite returning more
than 40% in 2009 while Venture did more than twice as well, edging out even China benchmarks.
In this report, we collect, organize and analyze the buying and selling actions of Canadian corporate
insiders to help investors decide how aggressive to be in stocks and which sectors to favour. Through our
INK indicators, we assess whether insiders believe that the Canadian and U.S. markets and key sector are under or
overvalued. We update these indicators every day in the Market INK report and Henry Chan provides an
analysis of insider sentiment every Monday.
The report includes our flagship INK Indicator which measures insider sentiment towards TSX-listed stocks.
The INK Indicator has been referred to as a "Key TSX Indicator" by the Globe and Mail.
You can see the benefit of following insider sentiment from the chart above. As complete panic
conditions and gloom gripped the market during the fall of 2008, insider buying went through the roof. A similar situation unfolded in the spring of 2020 as COVID-19 hit.
