Socking It Away? Insiders Grease the Market with These Stocks - Could a Selloff Be On the Horizon?
When bigwigs - such as CEOs and board members - decide to part ways with their stocks, it leaves room for speculation that their decisions are informed by information not available to the general public. And when this happens, investors pay attention. Here's a lowdown on the stocks that have recently seen insiders effecting some serious sales.
Insiders Cash Out Big Time, and It's Not Just Any Stocks
Take a peek at the insider sales of the past week. Most notably, Abercrombie & Fitch has been in the spotlight with three major sales:
- David M. Solomon, CEO and Chairman at Goldman Sachs Group, pocketed $4 million by selling 6,550 shares. His remaining shares stand at 117,883.
- Gregory McLaughlin, Director at Realty Income Corp, traded shares worth $70,212 by offloading 1,250. He still retains 34,636 shares.
- Suzanne M. Coulter and Gregory Henchel, Directors at Abercrombie & Fitch, dusted off 6,800 and 1.5 million shares respectively, amounting to over $1.1 million and $1.5 million. Suzanne's current position is 12,072, while Kenneth Robinson, another Director, let go of 1,100 shares, worth about $178,000. As of now, he retains 7,272 shares.
- Emiliano Calemzuk, Director at MercadoLibre, divested 50 shares, taking home $99,249. He's still holding onto 238 shares.
But hey, not all the news is doom and gloom. Insiders have also been buying stocks of some companies significantly. Here are two fantastic examples:
- M. Grier Eliasek, COO at Prospect Capital, invested twice in the last week, scooping up 210,000 shares worth $1 million each time, amounting to a total of 2.1 million shares.
- Michelle Sterling, Director at Digital Turbine, welcomed 7,000 shares, worth $10,010. She's currently cruising on 24,640 shares.
