Just another "indicator" that HAS to be reinterpreted in light of dramatic events. Why would an insider have any special insights to a financial panic? We get the same information from an outsider, say, Mrs. Wannabe, a generation and continent removed!
Selling always comes with a "reason"...rarely with a choice.
See "Inside Move" below for the inside story in insider activity--the near perfect buy indicator of this historic rally.

The insider sell-to-buy ratio turns bullish - 8 months after the bottom and 60% later. In retrospect, the fact that the market was able to rally despite high insider selling (not to mention secondary offerings from banks, casino operators, etc.) was bullish - as insider selling at some point will most likely abate.

This now looks bullish:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601213&sid=aj7iYiQKz5UU&refer=home
| Quote: | Chief executive officers, directors and other senior officials in corporate America are buying more of their companies' shares than they're selling for the first time since 1995, prompting growing confidence the stock market is poised to rally for the rest of the year.
The last seven times insiders bought more than they sold, between 1988 and 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rallied an average 21 percent in the following 12 months, according to data compiled by the Washington Service. The purchases show executives believe the worst may be over after stocks suffered the biggest January drop in 18 years on signs the economy is in a recession. |

Every stock that I looked at yesterday, 30+, had very aggressive insider selling the last 3 months, particularly October and November. Very little buying and most were selling their total shares of their companies.

Insider selling has been very aggressive in recent weeks. Over $2 bln has been sold at S&P 500 companies in the two weeks ending November 12th

You can call it a tax effect--with a month's hindsight.
Now, insider selling at S&P 500 companies picked up last week. There were net sales of $555 mln. The 4-week average of net sales is relatively low at $331 mln, but will rise as low numbers roll off. The release of earnings can lead to black out and a decline in insider activity.
The level of insider selling is not yet at an extreme level but the pace of insider selling should be watched. By late February or the first half of March, insider sales could become, dare I say it?-- a bearish sign for the market.
