BOSTON, MA, Dec 13 (MARKET WIRE) --
Insider buying occurs only when corporate insiders, those who know the most
about
a company's future prospects, believe that the value of the stock will increase.
Form4Oracle.com, a company that specializes in making insider trading activity
available to the individual investor, has identified multiple buying
opportunities
in both the banking and real estate market segments.
In the banking segment, Regions Financial Corporation has experienced a
dramatic
shift in insider buying patterns. Over the past 12 months, there have been 17
insider buyers and only one insider seller. This compares to only four insider
buyers and 12 insider sellers in the previous 12 months. The shift in insider
mentality is clear to see. A similar story can be told about Wilshire
Bancorp. Insider buyers at this firm have outnumbered sellers 11 to one over the
past 12 months. This compares to the sellers outnumbering buyers by a ratio of
five to one during the previous 12 months.
The real estate market also has hidden gems for those with the tools to find
them. At Equity One, insiders have purchased $64.99M more than they have sold
over the past twelve months. This compares with the previous 12 months where
insiders sold $22.09M more than they purchased. Grubb and Ellis is another firm
where there has been a shift in insider buying sentiment, with net purchases of
$4.77M over the past 12 months compared with net sales of $45.91M during the
previous 12 months.
Both of these market segments have been hurt by the recent sub-prime crisis.
As
president Kennedy once reminded us, "When written in Chinese the word crisis
is composed of two characters. One represents danger while the other
represents opportunity." It means opportunity for those who are prepared to
take advantage and danger for those who aren't. Form4Oracle provides tools that
individual investors can use to capitalize on the opportunity presented by
the sub-prime crisis.
"It's a fact that company insiders know their own company and market space
better than anyone and are the best-qualified people to assess the future
prospects for the stock. No one buys a stock thinking that its price will go
down -- they do so to make money. Form4Oracle provides individual investors with
comprehensive search capabilities, best-of-breed user tools, and an unparalleled
insider sentiment report that allows users to quickly identify the most
promising
investment opportunities," states Alex Romayev, Form4Oracle co-founder.
While there is no guaranteed way to determine which companies' stock will
perform well and which will not, the people best positioned to understand
acompany's growth prospects are the corporate insiders. A well thought out
investment strategy should always incorporate actual buying patterns from
these individuals as a strong indicator of a stock's future potential
performance.
