👀 Top Insider Trades this Week

🥇 Nathan Mazurek - CEO at Pioneer Power Solutions (link)

Historic Returns and Win Rate

• Overall: 99%% returns with a 100% win rate (12/12 trades)

• 1-year: 124% returns with a 100% win rate (11/11 trades)

• 90-day: 45% returns with an 83% win rate (10/12 trades)

Purchase Data (this week)

• Total Amount Purchased: $60,876

• Purchase Price: $6.09

• Current Price: $6.31 (+4%)

Rating

• Rating: 9

• Why: The only negative thing you can say here is that the purchase amount is pretty small in absolute terms, but it is actually his largest purchase ever. His win rates and returns are top-tier, the current price is only a few percent above where he bought it, and the stock is down ~25% in the last two weeks.

🥈 Peter Hoetzinger - co-CEO at CNTY (link)

The other co-CEO also bought the stock this week.

Historic Returns and Win Rate

• Overall: 158% returns with an 80% win rate (4/5 trades)

• 1-year: 302% returns with a 100% win rate (5/5 trades)

• 90-day: 144% returns with a 100% win rate (5/5 trades)

Purchase Data (this week)

• Total Amount Purchased: $43,200

• Purchase Price: $5.76

• Current Price: $5.97 (+4%)

Rating

• Rating: 8

• Why: Some of the best returns and win rates we will ever see and the stock is down almost 30% in the last month. The returns are boosted by a killer trade he made during COVID (he made his largest ever purchase and it was up 250% in 3 months and 630% in 1 year), but he still has killer returns even if you ignored that trade. The main thing holding this score down is the purchase size, which is his second smallest ever.

🥉Samuel Shimer - Director at HGBL (link)

Historic Returns and Win Rate

• Overall: 224% returns with a 100% win rate (5/5 trades)

• 1-year: 87% returns with a 100% win rate (5/5 trades)

• 90-day: 23% returns with a 100% win rate (5/5 trades)

Purchase Data (this week)

• Total Amount Purchased: $29,500

• Purchase Price: $2.95

• Current Price: $2.97 (+0%)

Rating

• Rating: 8

• Why: Pretty similar to the other two, the main downside is that the purchase amount is low. This is his largest purchase ever, but only a few thousand more than his 2nd and 3rd largest purchases. The stock is also pretty flat over the last, but down ~20% over the last couple of months.
