How CEO Watcher Works

Welcome to this week’s edition of CEO Watcher.

This is the only tool that tracks the returns of insiders so we know which insider trades are worth copying.

This week we tracked 1,046 insider trades and found:

UWMC crashes after the CEO sells $75M
CEO at CIA buys $413k of the stock
and more…

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

💰 Previous Winner

Unsurprisingly, when a CEO with -30% 3m returns on their previous sales sells $75M of the stock, it’s not a good sign for the stock. UWMC is down 18% since it was mentioned in the April 3rd Premium email.

It opened at $5.68 and is down to $4.38 (-23%).

Upgrade to CEO Watcher Premium (20% off with this link) to get all of the top insider trades as soon as they happen instead of just receiving 3 on the weekend.
