“Is “Not Trading” Informative? Evidence from Corporate Insiders’ Portfolios” by Luke DeVault, Assistant Professor of Finance at the Powers College of Business at Clemson University

In his research piece published in the Financial Analysts Journal titled, Is “Not Trading” Informative? Evidence from Corporate Insiders’ Portfolios, Luke has found that trades made by investors with insider positions at multiple firms can sometimes reveal information about both the traded and non-traded position(s). What information do these trades reveal, and why do “not-sold” stocks outperform “not-bought” stocks? Luke’s presentation will cover the answers to these questions and discuss how the data can provide value-relevant information about insider holdings.
