One of the best ways to spot opportunity is to watch what insiders do with their own money.
Not what they say on a conference call.
Not what they hint at in a shareholder letter.
Because insiders know the numbers before the headlines catch up. They know where demand is improving, where the market is overreacting, and where a stock price has drifted too far from what the business is really worth.
That’s the setup right now.
From real estate data to private equity, fintech, alternative assets, and telecom turnaround stories, insiders have been stepping in with real money. And in one case, a founder just bought nearly $24.8 million worth of his own stock.
That’s a message.
When a stock is under pressure from activists, sentiment can get ugly fast.
CoStar Group, Inc. (SYM: CSGP)
That’s the bad-news side of the ledger.
Barron’s reported that board director Rachel Glaser bought 1,000 shares at $44.94, president of marketplaces Fred Saint bought 20,000 shares at $45.33, and CEO/founder Andy Florance bought That last number matters.
Now, that does not mean the stock bottoms tomorrow.
It means the people closest to the business are buying while outside critics are pounding the table for change.
The market is basically forcing you to pick a side: the activists who say the Homes.com spending has gone too far, or the insiders who are buying as if the pain is temporary.
Investors Alley
A handful of investors are doing something different.
They're getting paid every single month from a new investment tied directly to silver's historic surge.
I'm not talking about mining stocks, options, or physical bullion.
I'm talking about a powerful little-known income fund — trading for just $42 — that's delivered up to 20% in annual distributions….
And could give you the chance to collect $1,170/month.
The next two names look very different on the surface.
One is a giant alternative-asset manager.
Company: KKR & Co. Inc. (SYM: KKR) KKR shares were trading around $89.12 on March 9, well below the levels investors had gotten used to. Barron’s reported that co-CEOs Joseph Bae and Scott Nuttall bought a combined $8.8 million worth of stock last week, and that total insider purchases since February 11 had climbed to This is the kind of insider support that tells you management thinks the market is over-discounting the downside.
Just overpricing it.
SoFi Technologies, Inc. (SYM: SOFI) That combination gets interesting.
Insider buying plus a major analyst upgrade is another.
It suggests the weakness may be more about market nerves than business deterioration. And with SoFi, that distinction matters. This is a stock that trades on growth expectations, so any pullback tends to feel dramatic even when the operating story remains intact.
That does not make it safe.

With profitability now achieved and a diversified portfolio of roughly 100 assets, MTA demonstrates a scalable, high-margin business model that rewards investors as the metals cycle unfolds. Its strategy aligns with the broader 2026 metals backdrop: gold continues to serve as a monetary anchor, silver demand is accelerating in industrial and renewable applications, and copper faces long-term supply deficits. MTA’s royalties capture upside automatically as mines expand or exploration succeeds, while institutional support—including an 8.9% stake held by Tether-linked entities—underscores confidence in the company’s growth path.
