Welcome to the Hot Corner Insider Weekly Report!

As you know, we spend a lot of time tracking insider activity to come up with this universe.

But that’s only half the battle!

Once we identify the names insiders are targeting, we overlay our expert technical analysis to see if the market agrees with their actions.

While we track some of the most powerful and well-informed market participants… we aren’t just going to follow them blindly into their trades.

We want to see that the insider activity is confirmed by the trend before we get involved. 

When we can check both boxes, we identify asymmetric risk/reward setups and then jump in and ride these trends higher alongside the smart money.

After a prolonged period without progress, small caps are back in the driver's seat. The Russell 2000 just capped off a bearish-to-bullish trend reversal with a decisive resolution.

At the same time, the profit-taking in mega-cap growth stocks has been non-stop these past two weeks.
