	The #1 Insider Signal Every Trader Should Know By: Tracey Ryniec June 13, 2026 We love it when a famous CEO buys a large chunk of his company's stock. In Jan 2022, Reed Hastings, then the Co-CEO of Netflix, bought 51,440 shares for nearly $20 million even though he already owned over 5 million shares. This was his first open market purchase of Netflix shares ever. He didn't even buy during the dark times of the financial crisis. This big purchase made headlines and was analyzed on Twitter and Stocktwits by stock investors. Insiders Buying En Masse But what about when non-famous insiders buy their company's stock, and when a bunch of them buy en masse? This mass insider buying behavior is called a "cluster buy" and it is the strongest signal you can get in insider trading. When one insider buys, he might be considered an optimist, especially when he's the CEO, but when four or five insiders all buy at the same time? Now that's a powerful consensus. But you're not going to hear about the cluster buys from the media. There aren't going to be headlines trumpeting the buys of a few corporate Directors and a CFO. Nope. The cluster buy simply isn't glamorous enough. Investors, therefore, have to dig below the surface to find the insider cluster buys. But once you do, that's where big rewards can be found. Cluster Buying Sends the Strongest Signal Why do insiders spend so much of their own money on their companies' stock when they already own a ton of shares already? Greed! Pure and simple. The opportunity to make more money motivates people - even people who are already well off like highly paid CEOs and CFOs. When insiders buy in a cluster, it's because they all know something very good is going on at the company. Maybe it is a new product. Or contract. Or pending merger. Whatever the reason, they are all very confident that shares will be on the rise. After all, who would buy more stock in a company if they knew it was sinking? And why would there be several of them buying unless they didn't collectively believe that their stock was a value? When things at the company are THAT good, insiders don’t want to miss out when everyone else is cashing in. Call it insider peer pressure, if you will. More . . .
	Buy These Insider Stocks Today When in-the-know officers dip into their own pockets to buy shares of their own company, there's only one reason: They expect the stock price to go up. Because of their inside knowledge of anticipated contracts, mergers, product breakthroughs, and the like, insiders must report their trades to the SEC within 48 hours. Zacks has zeroed in on the best of these buys. Our recommended insider buys are time-sensitive and normally closed to public view - but you can still see them until midnight Sunday, June 14.

	Real Life Cluster Buying The small regional and community banks have been overlooked on Wall Street since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008. But, in the 18 years since, most of these banks have gotten their balance sheets in order and are now thriving. First Busey Corp. is a small-cap bank based in Champaign, Illinois. It focuses on central Illinois, metro St. Louis, and also has three branches in southwest Florida and one in Indianapolis. However, in March 2025, it acquired Kansas-based CrossFirst Bankshares. CrossFirst had branches in cities not served by First Busey, including Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver and Phoenix. With the merger completed, First Busey now has 80 full-service locations across 10 states. In Feb 2025, prior to the merger, two directors stepped in to buy shares. But after the acquisition, the insiders have continued to buy. Like most stocks, shares of First Busey plunged after Liberation Day and the tariff uncertainty, in March and April 2025, presented a buying opportunity. On May 23, 2025, three directors bought more shares and on June 12 and June 13, 2025, three directors stepped in to buy again. And they have continued to buy, with directors buying in July and Sep 2025 and again this year, in May 2026. Why do these insiders keep buying more shares? First Busey is still cheap and revenue is expected to rise +10.1% this year. Buy When the Insiders Buy When high level insiders buy, they are required to report the purchases to the SEC within 48 hours of the trade. The trade then becomes public information. Hedge funds and other professional investors routinely use this information to get an edge on their trades. For most of us, though, it’s not easy to get access to the insider information. While the media will tout the huge insider buys from celebrity CEOs like Reed Hastings' Jan 2022 $20 million Netflix share purchase, you'll almost never hear about the non-celebrity CEOs, or other top ranked officers when they buy their stocks. Was anyone talking about all the buying at First Busey? The challenge is getting easy and reliable access to all the insider trades and then figuring out which ones to buy. Where to Find the Cluster Buys Anyone can go on the SEC website and get the insider trading information, but it's time consuming to search by individual companies. Some investment firms collect the insider buying data and can provide it to you as a daily list. Have you ever seen one of those lists? The sheer number of companies can be overwhelming. And those lists don't usually separate out the cluster buys, which sometimes take place on different days in the same week. For example, if you're getting daily insider updates, you may not realize that the CEO bought on Monday, but three directors bought on Tuesday. You may pass by those 'hidden' cluster buys without even realizing it. Even if you got a list of the cluster buyers, how would you narrow it down to the stocks that are truly worth buying? If I'm going to buy when the insiders are buying, I want to buy only their top picks. Today's Hottest Insider Buys Zacks' research team has developed a unique strategy to identify only those top picks insiders are scooping up. We monitor selected insider buying activity at companies with strong earnings and valuations. Then we analyze: • Who's buying? How much money are they putting in? • When, if ever, have they bought shares in the past? • Do they receive shares as part of their compensation, but still want more? • Are we seeing "Cluster Buys"?

The Zacks #1 Rank Performance covers the period beginning on January 1, 1988 through May 4, 2026. The performance is the equal weighted performance of a hypothetical portfolio consisting of stocks with a Zacks Rank of #1 that was rebalanced monthly from January 1988 through December 2013 and weekly from 12/31/13 through Monday's open on May 4, 2026. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the month, the total return during the month was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the closing price of the prior month to the closing price of the current month plus any dividends received during the month. The monthly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the month. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the week, the total return during the week was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the opening price for the week to the opening price of the next week plus any dividends received during the week. The weekly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the week. If no month-end price or week end open price was available for a stock, it was not included in the portfolio return for the month or the week. The monthly and weekly returns were compounded to arrive at the annual returns. The annualized return is the annual return that, had it been achieved in each year or portion of a year, would have compounded to create the total return over the full time period. These returns are based on the list of Zacks Rank #1 Stocks that was available to clients of Zacks as of the beginning of the month, when returns were calculated monthly, or as of the beginning of the week when returns were calculated weekly. These returns are higher than the returns an investor could achieve investing real money in a portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks because the returns of the hypothetical Zacks Rank #1 portfolio exclude a number of costs, including commissions incurred for trading, the average bid ask spread, the price impact of the trading and, prior to 2013, in those months when the end of the month fell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the overnight return from the month end close to the open on the next trading day.

The search for oil and gas never stops... And it never looks the same. On Alaska's North Slope, rigs operate in some of the most punishing conditions on Earth. Folks who do the work say it's like drilling on the moon.

We Keep Finding AI in 'Unexpected' Places By Joe Austin, senior analyst, Chaikin Analytics The search for oil and gas never stops... And it never looks the same. On Alaska's North Slope, rigs operate in some of the most punishing conditions on Earth. Folks who do the work say it's like drilling on the moon. In winter, temperatures routinely drop well into the negatives. Around the winter solstice, daylight can last as little as two hours a day. The enemy is the environment. Low light, brutal cold, and encroaching sea ice shut down operations for nearly half the year. When your drilling window is that short, every hour counts. Meanwhile, thousands of miles south, drillships in the warm waters off Guyana operate over the Stabroek Block. It's a deepwater tract that ExxonMobil's (XOM) CEO says is one of the biggest oil discoveries in nearly two decades. The conditions are the opposite of Alaska's. But the stakes are just as high. The water here can be more than 6,000 feet deep before you even reach the oil reservoir. It's a completely floating operation. Everything costs a fortune, and nothing stops. The "day rate" for drillships costs between $400,000 and $500,000 per day. Then there's the U.S. shale patch... In the Permian Basin and the Marcellus Shale, the challenge isn't weather or day rates. It's doing more with less. From late 2022 through late last year, the active rig count in the lower 48 states dropped by about one-third. But over that period, Permian production jumped by 18%. And Appalachia production increased by 10%. Last July, the lower 48 states set a new monthly production record for crude oil. If fewer rigs are producing more oil, efficiency is driving that growth. These are three environments with very different problems. Yet the solution is always the same – better technology. And right now, that means AI... Recommended Links: Major 'Smart Money' Prediction From Marc Chaikin We're seeing constant volatility... global tension... inflation that won't go away... Yet markets keep pushing to new highs. That kind of disconnect doesn't last forever. And if history is any guide, what comes next will catch most folks completely off guard. That's why Marc Chaikin is sharing a strategy designed to get in when the smart money is quietly building positions... And get out before volatility can turn against you. See how it works and where the smart money is moving next. CNBC's 'The Prophet': 'This New Rule Will Devastate Millions of Americans...' The man CNBC nicknamed "The Prophet" is stepping forward with an urgent warning... one he believes will bring him a lot of hate mail. Why? Because it's about SpaceX... and how a nefarious new financial rule being smuggled in alongside the IPO could "devastate" millions of Americans. See his full warning and how to protect yourself now. AI Is Reshaping Industrial Processes in Real Time Across the oil and gas industry, AI is reshaping how wells get drilled. The basic machinery has been around for decades – a derrick to support the drill string, a rotary system to spin the bit, a hoist to raise and lower equipment, and a circulation system to pump drilling fluid in and out of the hole. But what happens inside those systems has changed dramatically. Sensors in the drill string can now send live data up from the bottom of the hole while drilling is still underway. That gives engineers a real-time read on rock type, pressure, and well direction. Directional drilling lets crews bend the well path underground to reach targets thousands of feet away. This makes it possible to drill multiple wells from a single surface location. Software tracks "mud" weight and chemistry in real time – catching pressure warning signs before fluids start flowing into the well uncontrolled. And as each section is drilled, it gets lined with steel casing and cemented in place. Evaluation tools verify the cement has set before the crew moves deeper. For years, skilled operators and engineers managed all of this by reading data, making judgment calls, and adjusting on the fly. Now, AI is transforming that work. And the results are measurable across every part of the process. Surface systems no longer just follow preset rules. They learn from live well data, make decisions, and adjust drilling parameters faster and more consistently than a human can. In one 2024 drilling program, an AI-driven system drilled nearly 50% faster than a manual crew. Downhole, AI now interprets data from drilling tools in real time and adjusts the well path automatically – keeping the bit in the most productive zone without waiting for a geologist to weigh in. At a well in Ecuador, an AI system made 25 course corrections along a single well section, each in seconds. That well became one of the best producers in the country. On the fluids side, machine learning models can flag signs of a pressure imbalance 10 to 12 minutes earlier than conventional monitoring tools. And for cement evaluation, models that once required a specialist to manually read complex acoustic logs now run automatically, faster, and with better ability to catch errors. Regular readers know that we've talked about AI changing the industrial sector before. But this is just another example of how physical AI helps companies boost profits. Many of the companies helping with this transformation in the oil and gas space fall under the energy equipment and services industry. And the Power Gauge currently says this corner of the market is "strong." Our system rates 58 stocks in this industry. Right now, 26 of them are "bullish" or better. And only one of these stocks get a "bearish" or worse rating. As I've said previously – you don't have to chase the big names in AI infrastructure to find investing success with this megatrend. There are plenty of opportunities to profit from AI in less obvious corners of the market... like the companies using physical AI to boost their automation.
