Top insider trades (Tue, May 5)

Connor’s Commentary

There were 224 new insider trades filed.

Interesting insider purchases continue to flow in (I’ve got a backlog I need to make notes on). 1 insider trade was flagged as High Signal (and added to the CEO Watcher Portfolio, and I shared notes on a couple of others.

CEO Watcher Premium subs can see those in the Trade Notes section of this email (just scroll down).

As a reminder, if you upgrade to CEO Watcher Premium (link) and find that it isn’t for you, I’ll give you a refund.
