Insider trading activities (SINLetter) — August 8, 2010

Asif Suria has done great work over the past couple of years.  Check out what he does at SINLetter.com.

He publishes an Insider Weekend which runs down insider buying/selling trends (a Tradestreaming hallmark) and highlights specific names that are seeing significant insider activity. Here’s the current installment.

Insider buying increased once again last week with insiders purchasing $21.82 million of their stock when compared to $13.42 million in the week prior. Selling also increased with insiders selling $821.45 million worth of stock when compared to $498.22 million in the week prior.

Suria compares buy/sell ratios to previous weeks’ activity:

The adjusted ratio for last week dropped once again to 21.82. In other words, insiders sold almost 22 times as much stock as they purchased.

On the notable buy/sell side, Suria calls out activity in Akamai (AKAM), Ford Motor (F), and Herbalife (HLF) among others.  Check it out.
