Hi Allan,
Wow. Nice work.
I'm wondering how practically you spot opportunities like NVAX.
I did read your Insider Buying post from Dec. 2004, but I'm wondering just how you sifted through the filings to spot this one. Do you basically analyze each filing as it appears on the SEC Analytics site? Or do you specify certain criteria and the site automatically sifts through the filings to deliver the tickers of companies that have a profile and insider buying that are more likely to give it a better pop? Or is there another way?
How many minutes a day does it take to thoroughly monitor the files so that opportunities like NVAX don't slip under the radar?
Thanks,
Ali
ron, any market strength or weakness is irrelevent to my i-buys;
ali, the commercial services filter some of the filings for subscribers, I use a proprietary piece of software that filters all the filings according to my own preferences, i.e size and nature of i-buys. Just looking for large purchases from officers or very large purchases from directors.
