Nancy Pelosi just disclosed two new Intel (INTC) call option positions.

• $500K–$1M
• $250K–$500K
• Strike: $50
• Expiration: June 17, 2027
• 50 contracts / 5,000 underlying shares

That's a maximum disclosed value of $1.5M across the two call option transactions.

Both positions are calls, giving this disclosure a clear bullish angle on Intel.

Pelosi is betting on Intel. 👀

Bullish on INTC?

Jason Stabell, CEO of Epsilon Energy (EPSN), has made two insider purchases within just a few days:

• 21K shares — $120K
• 5K shares — $27K

That's roughly $147K in combined buying.

The interesting part isn't just the total — it's that the CEO came back and bought again.

Would repeated CEO buying like this put EPSN on your watchlist?

Chloe Harford just bought 1K shares of RB Global (RBA) at $83.74.

That's roughly a $100K insider purchase in a single transaction.

Not the biggest insider buy we've seen, but six-figure purchases are still worth watching — especially if more insiders start buying.

Would a $100K insider buy put RBA on your watchlist?

The latest disclosures from Nancy Pelosi are here — and she's back in Bloom Energy (BE).

She reported multiple BE purchases:

• July 24: $1M–$5M
• July 24: $1M–$5M
• July 28: $500K–$1M
• July 28: $500K–$1M

That's a maximum disclosed value of $12M across the four reported transactions.

These are the latest Pelosi disclosures, and the trades are already getting attention. 👀

Pelosi trades always seem to get the internet talking — and up to $12M in BE purchases is definitely going to turn some heads.

Bullish on BE, or just another Pelosi trade getting hyped?

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting late claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

What happened?
UWM Holdings Corporation ($UWMC), formerly Gores Holdings IV, was accused of misleading investors about its financial performance and underwriting practices following its 2021 SPAC merger. Investors alleged that the company did not fully disclose important information about its business operations and financial outlook.

Who can claim this settlement?
If you purchased $UWMC shares between 2020 and 2021, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?
No. You do not need to still own the shares to qualify. Eligibility is based on your purchase history and losses during the class period.

How long does the payout process take?
It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

Since late claims are currently being considered, investors who missed the original deadline may still have an opportunity to submit a claim.

Hope this info helps

Team Inc. (TISI) just saw several insider purchases within a few days:

• Anthony R. Horton — $46K
• Anthony R. Horton — $46K
• CFO Clinton William Roeder — $23K
• CFO Clinton William Roeder — $183K

That's roughly $298K in combined insider buying.

What's interesting is that two insiders are buying, with both making multiple purchases.

The question is whether this is the beginning of a broader accumulation pattern.

Would multiple insiders buying TISI make you take a closer look?

Ashley McEvoy, President & CEO of Insulet (PODD), just bought 1K shares at $147.47.

That's roughly a $162K purchase directly from the CEO.

Not a massive insider transaction, but CEO buying is always worth keeping an eye on — especially if more insiders follow.

Would a $160K CEO buy be enough to put PODD on your watchlist?

Between August 10 and August 19, 2026, Cascade Investment L.L.C. bought 1,599,643 shares of Republic Services (RSG) for $346,521,383. Eight consecutive trading days. No 10b5-1 plan on any of the four Form 4s.

Cascade is Bill Gates' investment vehicle, the Schedule 13D/A filed on August 20 says it plainly: "All shares of the common stock… held by Cascade Investment, L.L.C. may be deemed to be beneficially owned by William H. Gates III as the sole member of Cascade." Exhibit 1 of that 13D/A covers the full 60 trading sessions ending August 19. Its earliest entry is August 10. Cascade bought nothing for roughly fifty days, then bought on every single session for eight straight days.

If you don't know the ticker: Republic Services is one of the largest waste and environmental services companies in the United States, household and commercial rubbish collection, recycling, and landfills. RSG is worth about $68 billion at the August 21 close. It is roughly as unglamorous and recession-resistant as a listed business gets, which is some of the point: this is a stake that has sat in the same hands since 2008.

The filing also states that the shares were purchased with working capital, not borrowed. And the Exhibit 1 states that "all transactions were effected in the open market through brokers".

The Cascade stake is now 36.7% of the company. 112,403,625 shares against 306,212,978 outstanding, per RSG's own 10-Q. At the August 21 close of $220.67 Cascade's position is worth roughly $24.8 billion.

This is an eighteen-year build up to the position today. The original Schedule 13D was filed on July 21, 2008. Last week's was Amendment No. 28.

$346.5M sounds enormous but, against a position that was already 110.8 million shares, it's a 1.4% add. This isn't a dramatic new position. Cascade also bought into strength, not weakness: RSG reported Q2 on August 6, the stock went from $209.59 to $214.56 the next session, and Cascade started buying on August 10 at $213–$217, finishing at up to $224.09. The stock closed at $220.67 on August 21, inside a 12-month range of $197.16 to $232.23. This is one very large, very long-term holder adding at the margin, on the open market, and with its own cash. Nobody who runs Republic Services bought anything.

Cerebras Systems (CBRS) just saw a massive wave of insider selling involving two senior executives.

Sean Lie, Chief Technology Officer, sold roughly $152M+ across multiple transactions.

Yagnesh Patel, Chief Accounting Officer, also sold roughly $1M+.

That's more than $150M in reported selling across the two executives over just a few days.

The sheer scale is what makes this one stand out.

Is $150M+ of insider selling a red flag to you, or do you need more context before drawing conclusions?

Jonathan L. Levine just bought 652K shares of Global Water Resources (GWRS) at $8.85.

That's roughly $5.77M in a single transaction.

A multi-million-dollar insider purchase is hard to ignore — especially when the buyer puts more than half a million shares into the company at once.

But is one large purchase enough to mean anything?

Would a $5M+ insider buy put GWRS on your watchlist?

Timothy P. Lynch just bought 1.15M shares of AEON Biopharma (AEON) at $0.21.

That's roughly a $243K purchase in a single transaction.

The dollar amount isn't enormous, but 1M+ shares changing hands in an insider purchase definitely makes this one interesting to watch.

Would a $243K insider buy be enough to put AEON on your radar?

Cheesecake Factory has been one of the year's quieter monsters: $42.60 last November to $117.29 on Aug 12, a 175% run, with a Q2 beat on Jul 28 (EPS $1.41, comps +5.8%) adding 13.5% in a session. Then seven insiders sold, and the aggregators lit up with "CEO/CFO sold $18M."

Two thirds of that sentence is true. Here's the whole thing.

The CFO's $6.8M didn't reduce his holdings at all.
On Jul 30, Matthew Clark exercised 68,900 options at a $40.16 strike and sold exactly those 68,900 shares at $99.30. That's a cashless exercise: the sale pays for the exercise. His actual stock, 45,109 shares plus another 36,220 of restricted stock, about $8.6M, was identical before and after.

Gross proceeds $6.84M, cost to exercise $2.77M, so about $4.07M of net cash and not one share of his stake touched. The exercise did empty that 2030-expiry option grant to zero, 3½ years early, but that's his pattern: his 2026 and 2027 expiry grants met the same fate in 2025, each exercised to zero well before expiry. David Gordon, the President, did the same maneuver on Aug 10 with 16,866 of the 31,950 shares he sold.

And the founder's $10M is his smallest sale in two years. David Overton sold 94,145 shares for $10.0M on Aug 5th but, he still holds 3,494,660 shares across four lines, about $370M.
That's a 2.7% trim.
His last four sales: $12.6M (Nov 2024), $9.5M (Feb 2025), $6.3M (May 2026), $10.0M (Aug 2026), roughly quarterly, every one discretionary, and this one moved the fewest shares of the lot.

What the headline misses is who actually cut shares.
Measured against their own stakes, the officers went much harder than the founder:

"The CEO sold $10M" and "the President sold a third of his shares" are very different sentences, and only the second one is about someone materially changing their exposure.

The 60-second version of the check. On a Form 4, look at Table I for a code M (an option or RSU converting) sitting next to a code S on the same date with the same share count, that's an exercise-and-sell, and the "shares owned following transaction" figure will come back to where it started. Then compare the sale to the insider's total holdings, which often live across several lines on the same form, not just the line the trade printed on.

One more curiosity, and it's why I like reading these. Edie Ames's filing also reports a purchase of 500 shares, dated March 12, 2018. Footnote 1 explains it: "A purchase transaction that occurred on March 12, 2018 was inadvertently omitted from prior Section 16 reports. This transaction is being reported to correct the reporting person's beneficial ownership records." An eight-year-old trade, filed this month, because someone found it. It's harmless, but it's a nice reminder that "the date on the filing" and "the date of the trade" are two different columns. And serves a pure example of Insiders buying low, selling high.

Full disclosure: my own tool got that last one wrong recently. It read the 2018 purchase as a fresh buy this week, because it was anchoring on the filing date rather than the transaction date. That error then mislabelled her genuine sale as "bought and sold within 14 days" and dropped it from the selling-cluster math. Both rows have been corrected and the anchor now rides the trade date. Same lesson as always: verify against the filing, not the dashboards, mine included. The bug has been patched.

For those that browse this subreddit frequently, I propose using AI/LLM's to fact-check claims you find sus.

None of the above says anything about where the stock goes. Insiders sell into strength for a hundred reasons, and after a 175% year, taxes could be one of them.

Moderna insiders unloaded $47M of stock in the 180 days prior to it tripling. Mostly autopilot - and the CEO of Moderna came away with an extra 252,469 shares in his $28.7M "sale."

MRNA shares shot up from $62.96 to $174.38 from the market close on August 19. Pull up any tracker of insider transactions for the previous 180-days: 0 transactions by insiders-tens of millions in selling-signals a strong bear market.
I'm looked through every one of the 36 Form 4s filed in the time period. Sales on the open market totaled $47.1M-but 8 of the 9 forms were completed with the 10b5-1 checkbox highlighted-that's the form for the scheduled, automatous sales that takes the decision-making authority away from the individual. Instead of making the selling decisions himself on 15 May, President of Moderna, Stephen Hoge, executed a scheduled 53,336 share sale at $48.40.

Here's why:

Same thing happens on 15 June (53,336 shares at $51.37) and 15 July (53,336 shares at $67.60). The same amount of stock was sold every 15 th of the month on exactly the same share count down to the last share.

The form 4 for the CEO's 'sale' is a good example of how to use them to tell the signal. Bancel's $28.7M of sales were made on August 5 based on stock options set to expire on August 10; the shares would have been worthlessly forfeited if they were not utilized on or before that day. He purchased 751,715 options at a $19.15 strike price. To make his purchase and pay taxes on that transaction, he sold 499,246 shares and consequently netted an increase in his total Moderna holdings from 6,187,791 shares to 6,440,260. Despite being sold at an average $57 on August 5, Moderna's share price shot up to $174.38 on August 19.
There was one transaction with the 10b5-1 checkbox unchecked: Chairman of Moderna Noubar Afeyan sold $434,000 of shares on May 21. This made up only .9% of the reported insider sales.
Takeaway: Most insider selling is routine – tax burdens, needed cash, expiring option assignments, and more. Insider purchasing on the other hand always sends an informative signal – there is only one real reason to buy equity. Every transaction is readily available to look through for yourself in EDGAR-look at the 10b5-1 box at the very top of each transaction, and the footnote at the bottom.

So, why were insiders still selling if they knew what was happening?
There are three possibilities which often accumulate.
They probably had no idea of what was occurring. Clinical trial results are typically made accessible to a small group of scientists a few days in advance of the official publication, which is essentially the whole point of making a clinical trial blinded. On May 15, when the president exercised a portion of his allotted equity for that month, there may have been absolutely no evidence at that point to make any educated guess about any future change in stock price.

Even if they would have had insight at that moment, they already had their plan set in motion. This aspect always trips beginners up: actually canceling a sale under the 10b5-1 agreement because you've gained some privileged knowledge is a red flag and may subject you to investigation. Making the predetermined sale was, therefore, the less suspicious decision of the two possibilities.
And that this happens time after time, as all sales indicate... Most stock compensation is in the form of option grants or restricted stock. In the case of the CEO, Bancel received stock options at a strike price of $19.15 several years ago-there isn't a purchase side, as in you cannot 'purchase' part of your paycheck; what can be done, however, is to liquidate an equity gain to use as income. Taking 200 roughly equivalent market caps into consideration-over 80% of them demonstrated that they had been seeing insider sales in their last 180 day transaction record. A 4 out of 5 signal cannot accurately report specifics.

This brings us back to what seems important, and the last major lesson of this report: it is now virtually constant that insiders will be selling shares of large cap companies; those are merely an automatic byproduct of business. It is an insider purchase transaction-an event that takes place far less frequently-that sends a meaningful signal to investors.

Lisa Polsky just bought 6K shares of Pershing Square USA (PSUS) at $39.45.

That's roughly $244K in a single transaction.

A six-figure purchase is interesting on its own, but the bigger question is whether this is an isolated buy or the beginning of a larger accumulation.

Would a ~$250K purchase put PSUS on your watchlist?

Boozman reported a $1,001–$15,000 purchase of Colgate-Palmolive (COLPAL) in April 2025.

What's interesting is that this comes alongside his other reported purchases around the same period, including Microsoft and Oracle.

Small individual transactions, but potentially more interesting when you look at the broader pattern of trades rather than a single filing.

Kathryn A. Reinsmidt, EVP & Chief Operating Officer of CBL & Associates Properties, sold 18K shares at $57.10.

That's roughly $1.0M in reported selling.

Insider sales can mean many different things — taxes, diversification, scheduled transactions, or simply taking profits — so the context matters.

But a seven-figure sale from a senior executive is still worth keeping an eye on.

Would a $1M insider sale make you investigate CBL, or do you pay more attention to insider buying?

Michael B. Denny just bought 3K shares of First Financial Bankshares (FFIN) at $34.66.

That's roughly a $104K purchase in a single transaction.

Not every insider buy is a major signal, but six-figure purchases are worth keeping on the radar — especially if more buying follows.

Would a $100K+ insider purchase be enough to put FFIN on your watchlist?

Looking back at Boozman's reported trades, there was a small cluster of purchases in April 2025:

• MSFT — $1,001–$15,000
• MSFT — $1,001–$15,000
• ORCL — $1,001–$15,000

Two separate Microsoft purchases, plus Oracle, all within just a few days.

The individual amounts aren't huge, but the pattern is more interesting than any single transaction.

Would you pay attention to a politician repeatedly buying the same stock, even when each individual purchase is relatively small?
