Investors are constantly looking for ways to generate solid returns, after all, that is the whole point of investing. Achieving that goal is easier said than done, however. As with anything, if it were really simple, investors would only have success stories to tell.
That said, there are ways to gain an edge in the market, and one common route is to keep track of insiders’ actions. Insiders are the high-level company officers, Board members, CFOs and COOs, up to CEOs, whose positions give them a close-up knowledge of their firms’ inner workings – and they do trade on that knowledge.
