There are a few main factors I look for when I analyze a stock or market.
As regular Stock Surge Daily readers know, I like to focus on small-cap stocks with supply and demand imbalances.
These are stocks with more buyers than sellers, which tends to lead to higher stock prices.
I also look for what I call “stealth trades,” which are stocks with big institutional buying pressure propelling them to new highs.
But for my Insider Effect research service, I focus on something totally different…
The Insider Effect
My premium Insider Effect research service focuses on corporate insider buying.
These insiders are corporate CEOs, CFOs, executives and board members — even politicians — either purchasing or selling shares in their own companies.
These folks have a footing of knowledge that Main Street investors simply do not.
And in the case of politicians, they have even more power to decide which stocks win and lose on Wall Street…
Picking Winners and Losers
We don’t normally talk about politicians as corporate insiders.
But they are the ones that have their hands on our economy with the ability to affect more than one stock.
Just like corporate insiders, our politicians on both sides of the aisle are required to file with the SEC within days of making their trades.
What do those trades look like?
Well, they can range from regular selling or buying of common stock to big, leveraged options positions.
For instance, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, purchased call options on six different tech stocks back on Dec. 29, 2021.
With the cheapest of these positions valued between $100,000 and $250,000, these are not small positions just testing the waters…
These are massive “insider” trades made with an edge.
The Wolf of Washington
You’ve probably heard of “The Wolf of Wall Street” or even seen the movie.
But that guy was a small-fry compared to Pelosi, who I like to call “The Wolf of Washington.”
You see, Nancy Pelosi is more than just the Speaker of the House.
She is also a heck of a trader.
In fact, Pelosi and her husband have been making millions with stock options over the years.
The two of them have been amassing a fortune largely via their privately held company, Financial Leasing Services.
But what’s interesting to me is not that a politician is making a killing in the market… That’s nothing new.
Join the Insiders
What’s interesting to me is that more individual investors are following the lead of company insiders like corporate CEOs or Washington insiders like Nancy.
Again, these folks have inside knowledge of their companies and the financial markets, so following their trades can lead to massive gains.
This is what we do at my Insider Effect research service every day, and it’s helped us rake in some great returns over the years.
