TigerSoft Studies of Insider Trading
SEC's Loophole for wealthy JPM insiders.
"(T)he U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission created
an insider trading loophole big enough to drive a truck through (and)
.Wall Street is taking full advantage of it, establishing 'how-to' programs
and even client service divisions to help well-heeled clients circumvent insider trading regulations.
...Unfortunately for the small investor, the big boys get to play by different rules, and it has
all been made legal, thanks to the SEC. "
DO YOU KNOW THE DETAILS
OF ANY ILLEGAL INSIDER TRADING?
Under little-noticed new provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law, whistle-blowers like Markopolos who alerted the SEC to Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme will for
the first time be entitled to collect between 10% and 30% of the money recovered by the government.
The new law will allow whistle-blowers who bring "original information" to the Securities and Exchange
Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to remain anonymous— even to the government.
Working with an attorney as an intermediary, insiders with information about fraud can bring allegations
to the government without fear that the government will somehow reveal their identity.
August 8, 2010 Does SEC Whistleblower Reward of $1 Million Signal A New SEC
Aggressiveness Toward Wall Street Insider Trading?
Between 1989 and 2009, the SEC paid out only $159,537 to public whistle blowers
for providing key information about illegal insider trading!
The SEC recently announced its first million dollar award for a whistleblower's report of insider trading
information. It involved a hedge fund adviser Pequot Capital Management, Inc., its chief executive,
Arthur J. Samberg, and David E. Zilkha, a Microsoft employee. This is a dramatic change from the
SEC's discouraging attitude public whistle blowing.
If you know of illegal insider trading, contact us, our software can help you
document it. We can also suggest the best law firms to contact.
If you study market history, as much we have since 1981, you will
see that our Tiger Accumulation Index measures of insider buying is
much more effective in predicting stock behavior than watching the
published reports of "insider" trading, as the US Securities and
Exchange Commission now defines it. And it works with overseas
stocks, too, for which there are no published reports of insider
buying and selling. It works so well because it measures all
"insider buying", not just that which is reported to the SEC.
In 1973, I produced the calculations for the Accumulation Index on a number
of stocks. They were all so bearish that I thought I had made a
mathematical mistake in the formula. I had not. It was the start of
the 1973-1974 bear market. True story.
The TIgerSoft Accumulation Index is one of several technical
tools for stock market analysis we have invented. Another is
our Professional versus Public Buying and Selling concept.
Most 2009 TigerSoft stock charts show the same bullish divergence
at the start of long advance: the Tiger Public Buying shows
heavy selling and skepticism while Professionals are very aggressively
Buying. See how the Public distrusted AAPL's early rise while
Professionals bought aggressively.
These indicators produce Tiger's automatic Buys and Sells.
They have been extensively back-tested back to 1979, even earlier.
With TigerSoft it is to easy to spot insider Stock Buying and
Insider Selling.
Imagine the disappointment felt by those holding a declining
stock in the wonderful rally of 2009. Look at the chart below.
See how TigerSoft picks up on this stock's extreme bearishness
in two important and unique ways, besides price trend.
1) The first is the way the Tiger Accumulation Index frequently
dips below -.25 in red territory and thereby confirms the falling price trend.
2) The second key warning for us is that Professionals were selling
and it was the Public that was Buying. See at the bottom of the chart how
the two lines representing these two perspectives diverge. Public buying
from Professionals is a loud siren.
A daily TigerSoft chart below shows a year's price fluctuations
Most important is what the internal strength TigerSoft indicators
at the chart's bottom shows. Most important are Extreme Bulges
in the Tiger Accumulation Index. They show insider buying.
These bulges very often occur months before big price advances.
Insiders are buying because they are anticipating very good news in
the stock. It is that good news which makes the stock rise. Very often
the Public does not believe the early rally. But, typically, at some point, the
Public becomes a believer in the stock. That is not immediately
bearish/ In fact, the biggest gains take place in the later stages of
stock's long advance very often come when both the Public and the
Professionals buy the stock. This may create a buying climax, or
it may just bring the stock up to a much higher price plateau.
It is worth noting that this "acceleration-up" bullish condition is one
our Tiger Ranker's best flags. It allows traders to make the big gains
in the shortest period of time.
Below are some Bullish examples of intense insider buying,
Public skepticism, Professional Buying and late-stage Public
buying. The bulges of Blue Accumulation produce red Buys.
Automatic Buy arrows appear when the bulges and Professional
buying are considered very significant. The Buy B12, B20 and B24
signals show when TigerSoft users should buy the stock. Tiger
users may or may not know anything about the company. All they
need to know is that insiders and professionals are buying and that
TigerSoft has back-tested this method of trading extensively,
as far back as 1928.
SCSS (below) is a another recent example. Click on CNAM, CYT, DTG,
EZPW, NENG, PCYC, SANM and WAVX to see some others. In each case, notice
how the bulge of insider buying and TigerSoft automatic Buys soon afterwards
brought very profitable rallies.
It's true: these are smaller, less well know companies. That's where
the most opportunity has usually been. Bigger capitalization stocks
show the same characteristics. Mostly they don't move up as much.
Our website has hundreds of examples of the importance of looking for
these bulges of insider buying and watching what Professionals, not the
Public, is doing with its money, in all types of stocks, commodities and ETFs.
USE TIGERSOFT - TRADE LIKE AN INSIDER
So, now you see that you CAN Trade The Stock Market
like An Insider. The major difference is that with TigerSoft
you can do it legally.
Insiders invariably trade at a huge advantage. Many know exactly
what the news will be for their company. Many trade illegally,
because the SEC is ineffective and serves mainly to make
individual stock investors think the playing field is level.
Below is a recent typical Tiger pick. Study the TigerSoft chart.
See how it showed bulges of key insider buying and was a Buy
when the automatic Buy Signals appeared.
TURN INSIDER TRADING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
BUY WHAT INSIDERS ARE BUYING
SELL WHEN INSIDERS ARE SELLING
Odyssey Exploration - 2007 - is just one example among thousands.
Someone always knows first. And, most likely, he tells his wife or
someone else as part of a mutual "back-scratching" business arrangement.
When an insider buys a lot of the stock in the exploration company
he works for, his stock broker will usually take notice and starts buying,
too. I would say such cases show that it is nearly impossible to prevent
serious insider buying, even when the company takes every step it can
to prevent it, as Odyssey in the example below appears to have done.
Discovery of The Black Swan - Discovery Channel
Odyssey Exploration, a publicly traded company in Tampa,
discovered more than a half a billion dollars worth of Gold
and Silver in a 400-year old sunken treasure ship in the
Spring of 2007. The key oceanographer, Ernie Tapanes, who
made the actual discovery then bought more than 42,000 shares
of the company's stock before the company released the
information to the public.
I would say that judging from the jump in trading activity in the
stock at this time (See below), the oceanographer did not keep
the secret very well, even even though he and other Odyssey
employees had been advised by the company, that such
purchases would be illegal insider trading. Odyssey employees
were at the time required by the company to sign non-disclosure
pledges and a statement that they would not buy the stock until the
public announcement.
Tapanes was not the only eager new buyer in the last
two months of the chart below, when the stock rose 50% and
right before the public announcement of the discovery. Other insiders,
as TigerSoft defines them, who did not even work for the
company, were very likely pushing the stock up. The term "insiders"
refers to anyone privy to material non-public knowledge about the
company's prospects, not simply the CEO, officers of the company
or Board members who are legally required to report transactions in
the company's stock. The nested Tigersoft "B12", "B20" and "B24"
signals register such trading and are our alerts. (For more
information about what is legally defined as "insider trading"
and TigerSoft's working definition of it for trading purposes, please
see - http://www.tigersoft.com/Insiders/index.html )
Keeping A Secret like This Is Next To Impossible.
We will never know with any certainty who these other buyers were
and why they bought Odyssey at this time. Did Tapanes tell his wife
why he was buying 42,000 shares of stock? Did she tell others?
Did he or she call home to Canada or Cuba and tell anyone? I believe
it's more likely he told others. Who could keep a secret like this?
Tapanes, after all, was the one who found the treasure. Most people
in this situation would be bursting to tell of their life's dream come true.
Nevertheless, the law required him to tell no one. Once he started
working for a publicly traded company, he had fiduciary responsibilities
to the company's shareholders.
Did the brokers who took the unusual order to buy shares in the
exploration company by the lead explorer there, take note and buy
shares themselves? My experience with stock brokers suggests
they probably did. That's how they make a living! Did they tell
others? Again, that's how they make a living.
Motivations are always hard to disentangle. They are even harder
to prove. To further confuse the issue of why OMEX rose 50% in
the two months before the public announcement of the discovery,
we must mention that in March 2007, the Spanish government finally
consented to the company's excavation of the previously discovered
British ship, the Sussex. Spain had blocked this for 14 months.
(Source.) What's more, the DJIA rose 10% from March to May 2007.
Our Recommendation To Buy
All we know for sure is that TigerSoft recommended buying
Odyssey at 4.24 on our Stocks' Hotline and Elite Stock Professional
(ESP) service two weeks before the company announced the
discovery of the "Black Swan". Here is an email I got at the
time:
May 18th, 2007
"Bill,
Just wanted you to know you made me a lot of money today...
OMR (now OMEX) entered my watch lists after showing up in the Elite report...
Not a bad day, up about $60,000 in a single stock. Without Tiger
I never would have found this...
Thanks, JS"
Odyssey Exploration's Stock
Prices
Just before The Accouncement
of The Discovery of The Black Swan
in May 2007
Announcement about The Treasure's Discovery
Not surprisingly, when the discovery was made public the stock
immediately doubled, at which point the the oceanographer
promptly sold his shares. The stock soon collapsed as Spain
challenged the company's right to "their" gold and short-sellers
ganged up on the stock, figuring that all the good news was
now out and most people who had been interested in buying the
stock aggressively would have already done so... Our Accumulation
Index quickly turned negative. This can occur when professional
short sellers take control of the stock. In other cases, it means
insiders are selling the
stock.
Below is the TigerSoft chart of Odyssey back then. Note that we
define bulges of our TigerSoft Accumulation Index above +.50 to be
"insider buying". The legal definition of "insider trading" is
not
practical for trading purposes. "Insider" trade reporting as required
by the SEC is quite limited in scope, applying mostly to the officers
of a company.
Odyssey Exploration - 2006-2007
The SEC's Reaction
Even the SEC admitted this was an egregious case of insider trading.
The toothless Bush SEC did not seek a criminal prosecution. It did not
require Tapanes to say under oath who else he had informed,
outside the company. Instead, Tapanes relinquished his profit
and paid an additional $107,000 fine. The SEC has said that no other
Odyssey employees were under suspicion of insider trading.
The St. Petersburg Times wrote: "Odyssey executives distanced
themselves from Tapanes on Thursday. In a written statement, the
treasure-hunting company identified him as "one of many independent
consultants" and "not a direct employee." But published accounts
show that the quiet, cigar-smoking Tapanes has been an integral part
of the company's success."
(Source: http://www.sptimes.com/2008/01/18/Business/Illegal_insider_tradi.shtml )
There are two morals here: (1) Heed the classic adage:
"Buy on the rumor and sell on the news." (2) Use TigerSoft.
The SEC is there to only give the appearance of a level playing field.
We at TigerSoft were not privy to the rumor; yet we recommended
buying Odyssey at 4.25 two weeks before it doubled, simply
because of the bulge of insider buying that the TigerSoft charts
showed. ( On July 15, 2009 the SEC charged six Odyssey
insiders with insider trading.)
If you study market history, as much we have since 1981, you will see
that our Accumulation Index measures of insider buying is much
more effective in predicting stock behavior than watching the
published reports of "insider" trading, as the US Securities and
Exchange Commission now defines it. And it works with overseas
stocks, too, for which there are no published reports of insider
buying and selling. The TIgerSoft Accumulation Index is one of
several technical tools for stock market analysis we have invented
and extensively back-tested that is truly indispensible to someone
seriously seeking consistent stock profits.
The battle for investment Survival Just Got
A Lot Easier with TigerSoft..
Insider Selling Is Rampant before A Bankruptcy or Steep Stock Decline.
Examples:
WAMU, CITIGROUP, BANK OF AMERICA, NORTHERN ROCK,
CHINESE STOCKS, INDY BANK, GENERAL MOTORS...
How Does TigerSoft Spot Insider Selling?
Deeply Negative (red) Accumulation and False Rallies.
Example: Apple Computer's stock
dropped 50% in three weeks in 1987.
TigerSoft spotted it and warned customers of an impending
general market collapse. The method for spotting its top
has worked in calling general market and stoock tops
since 1929, as you will see below. The TigerSoft "S9"
on APPLE was very bearish, given how far up the stock was.
AAPLE - 1987 Top
What Identifies An Explosive Super Stock BEFORE It Doubles or Triples?

With TigerSoft it is to easy to spot early-on insider Buying and
Insider Buying
Steadily (blue) Accumulation means heavy institutional buying.
Example: AMGN 1990 -
hit $95 in 2000.
More information - Tiger's Power Ranker
If there are bulges of (blue) Accumulation above +.50 and prices
rise afterwards, consider savvy insiders themselves to be buying.
Use next automatic TigerSoft Buy then
and hold until (blue) 50-day
mvg.avg, is violated.
KIRK in 2009 is now 14.24, up 300% in 4 months!
There are many more like this in the stealthy 2009 Bull
Market.
Example: Take-Over target - IST rise from 9 to 38 in a year,
Insider Selling
If the the Accumulation Index becomes steadily (red) negative
and drops below -.25, consider insider selling to be taking place.
Examples:
Dow Jones Industrial Avg, in 1929
False rallies showing (red) negative distribution
bring major severe market declines and bear markets.
See the false rally tops in the DJI
charts of 1966,1972, 1987,
2000 and 2007 at the bottom of this page.

PROFITS ARE EASY - WHEN YOU'RE AN INSIDER
OR WHEN YOU USE TIGERSOFT!
TigerSoft will show you how to
make Goldman Sachs pay!
Goldman
Sachs Is "The GREED CONNECTION" between Wall Street and Washington
http://www.tigersoftware.com/TigerBlogs/April-7-2009/index.html
Paulson
Takes Corruption and Cronyism To Dizzying New Highs.
http://www.tigersoft.com/Tiger-Blogs/September19-2008/index.html
Goldman Sachs has its people everywhere in
government.
Small wonder it
is the most profitable, glorified Wall Street
hedge-fund,
masquerading as a commercial bank so that
it can get access
to cheap money at the Federal Reserve.
The CEOs at these companies have little shame.
So, don't
be surprised when
they try to steal your money, if you
don't have
TigerSoft to tell you the score and show you
how the game is
being played. Example: last September,
Henry Paulson,
Bush's Treasury Secretary - who had
previously been
Goldman's CEO, arranged a taxpayer gift
of $12.9 BILLION
for Goldman when he bailed out AIG.
If AIG - the big
insurance company - had been allowed to fail,
as Goldman's
rivals - Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers -
did,
Goldman would be probably have gone broke or
have become just
another $10 has-been stock!
But Goldman had
been slipping protection money to Paulson,
now worth 1/2 Billion,
in the form of years of huge bonuses.
And now - what a
surprise! - we discover that Obama's
biggest campaign
contributor was none other than Goldman
Sachs. Not for
nothing as a result - but for a million dollars
up-front, Obama has
publicly declared that Wall Street had
done nothing criminally
wrong or fraudulent in bringing on
the 2007-2008 World
Financial Collapse. This Obama assures
us, while refusing to
order a full-blown investigation of
the facts behind the
Crash before prejudging Goldman's
innocence!
http://www.tigersoft.com/Tiger-Blogs/September19-2008/index.html
Goldman's TigerSoft Chart show how bullish a stock can
look
when the companies'
insiders know it is fully backed and
financed by the US
Government. The public thought Obama
would reform Wall
Street! Insiders at Goldman knew he
was their ally, protector
and benefactor!
TIGERSOFT CHART of GOLDMAN SACHS
In our opinion,
far too many CEOs are over-paid criminals.
They add insult to injury by then selling
millions of
dollars worth of their companies' shares at
the top
and buy them back at the bottom.
Too harsh? Who but a crook would take 1/2
Billion from
a company's shareholders and customers
and then sell out
his shares at the top, six months before the
company goes
bankrupt, for all practical
purposes?
With TigerSoft, we can see this insider
selling, as it is taking
place. We could even sell short
these shares and make
"killer short sale profits."

====================================================================================
INSIDER BUYING IS THE SINGLE BEST
PREDICTOR
OF A FUTURE EXPLOSIVE SUPER STOCK
Bulges of intense
(Blue) Accumulation show insider buying. If the insiders are
savvy and the
general market holds up, prices will soon breakout to new highs
and advance
quickly. Only after prices have already risen a long way will the
good news that
propels them upwards come out. That is when the broad public
usually buys.
We want our people to get in at the beginning of the move. The
early major Buy
signals tell us when to buy. We hold as long as the trend is up,
using the blue
50-day moving average. TigerSoft makes finding such stocks
very easy.
