Insider Trading
The Insider Trading Rating is based on short-term (70% weight) and long-term (30%
weight) legal insider trading behavior. After the weightings are considered to
combine individual factors, a function similar to a normal distribution is used to rank
each stock across the market on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most favorable. A
stock needs to have at least one of the two insider trading factors in order to receive
a score.
● Short-Term Insider – Uses insider buy and sell transactions within the past 90
days. This factor is based on the Thomson Reuters quantitative insider trading
model that considers the insider's role, consensus, number of shares, market
capitalization of the company, and the historic stock performance following trades
by the given insider.
