3 “Strong Buy” Stocks Showing Strong Insider Interest

For investors seeking a clear market signal, the last few weeks have been frustrating at best. So far this year, the main stock indexes are down – the S&P 500 has fallen just over 7%, while the NASDAQ is still in correction territory, with a 12% year-to-date loss. However, the market bounced back starting last week. We saw a week of solid gains that saw stocks make a strong rebound from their low points. The result: for the month of March, the S&P is up 3.9%, while the NASDAQ has gained 3.3%.

This kind of volatility among conflicting long- and short-term trends makes it difficult for the average retail investor to make sense of what’s going on. What’s needed is a clear lead that will cut through the market’s signal confusion.

They know what’s likely in store for their companies – and they’ll trade company stock on that knowledge.
