InsiderScore.com: Insider Sentiment Hits Most Bullish Levels in Three Years Following Market Sell-Off

PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Insider sentiment was at itsmost bullish levels in three years during the week of Wednesday, July 25th,2007 to Tuesday, July 31st, 2007, according to InsiderScore.com, a leadinginsider and institutional trading data monitoring, analytics, andintelligence service. Not all insiders, however, are showing signs ofbullishness, the service's research team says. Driving the bullish sentiment last week were two factors: 1) asignificant increase in buying across the Financials industry, specificallyat Regional Bank and Savings & Loans, and 2) a sizeable decrease in sellingacross the entire stock universe. The activity continues a three-year trend during which insiders havebought on market pullbacks and also slowed sales as a result. While insider sentiment is extremely bullish, Ben Silverman, Directorof Research for InsiderScore.com, said investors should be aware thatsentiment is being driven by unusual factors, including abnormally bullishactivity in the beaten-down Regional Banks and Savings & Loans arena. "We have not seen a measurable increase in buying at mid- to large-capnon-Financials, and that gives us reason to pause and constrains ourenthusiasm at the present time," Silverman stated. "The good news, however,is that insiders did step up to the plate, and in doing so, reaffirmedtheir views -- last seen in mid-February -- that the current marketsell-off could be temporary. Time will tell if they're on the right side ofthe trade again."
