💰 CEO Watcher Premium Returns

CEO Watcher Premium subscribers get a daily email with the top insider trades. So they see more insider trades and know about them as soon as they happen.

We are closing in on 100 total “Top Insider Purchases” that have been shared in the CEO Watcher Premium daily emails since I started the Premium email at the beginning of the year, and I’ve begun diving into the data to understand the performance, identify potential investment strategies, and identify any optimizations that can be made to my algorithms.

I’ll share more in the coming weeks, but I’ve started with a basic analysis of the returns if you just purchased each “Top Insider Purchase” at the market open on the day the Premium email was sent (the Premium emails are sent before the market opens at 9am EST) and then sold after a given number of days.

As you can see, so far the CEO Watcher trades are crushing the S&P at every timeframe (and with a pretty significant number of trades for each timeframe).

I’ve also begun looking at the returns with different stop-loss levels and will hopefully share that next week.

Upgrade to CEO Watcher Premium (20% off with this link) to get a daily email with the top insider trades instead of just receiving 3 on the weekend.
