Most investors will lose money trying to "play" the Santa Rally this year. |
Not because the rally does not show up. |
But because they are watching the wrong signal. |
Every December, the same thing happens. |
The crowd looks at charts, they debate indicators, they wait for confirmation. |
Meanwhile, the people on the inside who actually know what is coming are already buying. |
I'm talking about corporate insiders. |
CEOs, CFOs, Board Members, people with no public information about the companies they work for. |
People who see the numbers, the contracts, and the decisions long before the public ever does. |
And over the last few weeks, insiders made two moves that immediately caught my attention. |
It's about positioning. |
And the only place you can see that positioning early is inside SEC Form 4 filings. |
The Uncomfortable Truth About the Santa Rally |
Here is the part no one wants to admit. |
The Santa Rally does not reward "good stories." |
It rewards forced buying. |
It rewards stocks where buyers are already lined up, risk is being reallocated, and the supply of shares tightens quickly. |
That is why you can have a "meh" macro backdrop and still see violent upside in the right names. |
Even in messy Decembers, the Santa Rally window has historically still shown up more often than not. |
|
So the real question is not: |
"Will we get a Santa Rally?" |
The real question is: |
Which stocks are positioned to absorb that year-end flow like a sponge and then rip higher when the crowd shows up late? |
That is where insiders come in. |
While the world argues about Santa Rally trivia, the market is quietly fighting a much bigger battle. |
A structural one. |
Two forces are colliding. |
First: the AI and automation arms race |
Massive buildouts. Massive spending. And a market that is increasingly questioning which projects actually earn returns. |
That tension has been a real driver of volatility into year-end. |
Second: the real economy is choking on complexity |
Hospitals, logistics networks, public systems, compliance stacks, and operational software are still held together with duct tape, vendor sprawl, and legacy platforms. |
That complexity is no longer optional. |
It is a profit killer. |
So capital is being pushed toward businesses that either: |
own mission-critical infrastructure and get paid no matter who wins the hype cycle, or use automation to reset costs, expand margins, and surprise the market coming out of a downturn
|
The two stock I am going to share with you today fall into those categories, but this is where most investors get trapped. |
They wait for the story to show up in a headline.
They wait for an upgrade.
They wait for the chart to "confirm." |
But by the time any of that happens, the insiders have already moved. |
They saw the margin inflection.
They saw the contract pipeline.
They saw the cost reset from automation. |
And they positioned before you ever got the memo. |
The Inside Advantage Retail Can Legally "Borrow" |
Here is the uncomfortable truth most investors try not to think about. |
Markets do not move on indicators, they move on information. |
And there is one group of participants who legally sees that information before you ever will. |
Corporate insiders. |
They sit inside the business while the rest of the market is guessing. |
They know: |
what the upcoming earnings report actually looks like whether margins are improving or deteriorating right now, not next quarter when a financing deal is close to being finalized when a merger discussion is real instead of rumor when an FDA decision is leaning yes or no when expansion plans, contracts, or restructuring efforts are about to be announced
|
None of that shows up on a chart. |
None of it appears in analyst notes until after the fact. |
But when insiders step into the open market and buy stock with their own money, they are telling you one thing very clearly: |
They believe the next public update will change how the stock is priced. |
Take Planet Green Holdings, for example. |
The CEO and Chief Strategy Officer each stepped into the open market and invested roughly five million dollars of their own money. |
Not grants, not options, real cash. |
Just days later later, the company announced a long-awaited financing agreement. |
The stock exploded so fast the exchange halted trading. |
|
Any chance they knew that the financing was going to come through? |
Then there is Five Below that saw Insiders buying. |
Shortly After the stock surged 384%. |
|
Viking Therapeutics had three board members all buying on the same day. |
Forty-eight hours later, positive Phase 2 trial results were announced. |
The stock jumped 157 percent in roughly two weeks. |
|
These were not momentum trades. |
They were information trades. |
And the same pattern just showed up again. |
This time we are seeing a rare alignment. |
First a seasonal flow window where risk-on behavior can reappear quickly… |
Second, volatility and narrative fatigue pushing money toward real cash and real margin expansion… |
And third, Insider conviction showing up in public filings at prices you can still access. |
The Two Insider-Backed Opportunities Positioned for a Year-End Surge |
These are not vague ideas. |
These are documented insider events, with real money, real conviction, and real asymmetry. |
I'm going to show you exactly what insiders did, why it matters, and why the timing is dangerous to ignore. |
Opportunity #1: The "quiet compounder" insiders almost never buy, until they do |
This first stock is the kind institutions hide in when they want quality, durability, and upside without drama. |
It rarely offers clean entry points because it is usually tightly held and relentlessly accumulated over time. |
That is why the insider behavior jumped off the page. |
After a meaningful pullback from its highs, two insiders stepped in on the same day. |
The CEO bought 10,000 shares in the open market, a multi-million dollar, personal-cash purchase at prices close to where you can buy today. A board director followed with a six-figure open-market buy at nearly the same level.
|
This was not routine. |
This company had not seen meaningful insider buying like this in years. |
When insiders who already have plenty of exposure decide to add after a pullback, it usually means one thing. |
They believe the market is underpricing what comes next. |
Why this matters now: year-end flows love this kind of setup. Quality names with tight supply can re-rate quickly when institutions rebalance. |
If the market catches up: a simple return to prior valuation ranges puts 20–30% upside on the table on the equity alone, with long-dated options offering significantly more if the re-rating plays out over the next 6–12 months. |
Quiet trades like this do not stay quiet forever. |
Opportunity #2: The "left-for-dead" stock insiders bought at the lows, right before the crowd wakes up |
This one is the opposite. |
It was hated.
Dumped.
Left for dead. |
The kind of stock people stop mentioning because it is painful to even look at the chart. |
That is exactly when insiders stepped in. |
And not with token buys. |
With the kind of behavior that tends to show up right before the first violent repricing move. |
The CEO bought nearly 180,000 shares in the open market. A senior executive followed with a meaningful additional purchase at nearly the same price. These were first-time cash buys, the kind that rarely happen unless something inside the business has changed.
|
This is what most investors miss. |
First-time buyers do not wake up one day and decide to throw real money at a broken stock for fun. |
They act when the internal reality is about to diverge from the public narrative. |
In this case, that divergence is coming from a cost reset. |
Automation is changing throughput, labor intensity, and margin potential. |
The market is still pricing the old version of the company. |
Insiders bought the new one. |
Now add the year-end backdrop. |
When liquidity improves and risk appetite returns, beaten-down names like this can snap back hard, especially when insiders have already planted their flag near the lows. |
This is where the "I'll wait for confirmation" crowd gets punished. |
Because by the time the story feels safe, the stock is already gone. |
If the thesis plays out: reclaiming prior resistance puts 50–70% upside on the table on the equity in fairly short order, with properly structured options capable of 3–6x if the repricing move accelerates. |
