No insider trades were flagged as High Signal, but I shared my notes on the Broadcom (AVGO) chairman’s recent purchase of the stock and why it is a pass for me.

Our system gave high scores to 4 insider purchases (I shared our system’s notes on those in the High Scoring Purchases - Quick Notes).

We also found 2 insider purchases from insiders who average 80%+ 1y returns.
