ZACKS Weekend Wisdom
The #1 Signal in Insider Trading
By: Tracey Ryniec
February 07, 2015
We love it when a famous CEO buys a large chunk
of his company's stock.
In 2013, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, bought over a million shares of Tesla stock for $100 million even though he already had plenty of shares. It made headlines.
But what about when non-famous insiders buy their companies' stock and when they buy en masse?
Usually no one pays any attention.
That would be a mistake.
When Elon Musk bought in 2013, he was the only insider at Tesla buying at that time. But at some companies, it's not just the CEO who is putting her money on the line, it is multiple insiders all jumping in at the same time.
This mass insider buying behavior is called a "cluster buy" and it is the strongest signal you can get in insider trading.
But you're not going to hear about the cluster buys from the media. There aren't going to be headlines trumpeting the buys of a few corporate Directors and a General Counsel.
Nope. The cluster buy simply isn't glamorous enough.
Investors therefore have to dig below the surface to find the insider cluster buys. But once you do, that's where big rewards can be found.
Cluster Buying Sends the Strongest Signal
Why do insiders spend so much of their money on their own companies' stock when they already own a ton shares already?
Greed!
Pure and simple.
The opportunity to make more money motivates people - even people who are already well off like highly paid CEOs and CFOs.

FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS AND PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF!!!!!!!!!!!
100% agree when everything is locked and shorting is done a they will be forced to cover will see a rise just like the squeeze that had it go from 10$ to 60$
That would be me smoked for 10 years . One day bought a disposable Ecig at a gas station puffed it all day till it ran out and just stopped smoking both ever since
The pps will defently move up and buying at current prices I believe will also give you a chancr to double on your investment or more, which in that case best senario for longs would be to recoup your initial amount $$ invested and keep rest for a long ride , at that point I would be in favor of a rs if price is high enough to get to us to nasdaq jmo long and strong ECIG
I say these number are accurate there accumalateing and keeping the stock down, they will I'll have to let it go and cover the shorts sooner or later up the buying pressure is what we need to do

BTIG ON LEVEL 2
It clearly states that the price per share will be tradeing higher at the time and depending on pps the ratio for reverse split is just for attractiveness price to investors and ability to uplist to a better exchange we are golden people if your stupid enough to sell I'm smart enough to buy
MOST IMPORTANT
If approved, the Reverse Stock Split is expected to take place at the discretion of the Board of Directors, but in any event prior to December 31, 2015, and without any additional action on the part of the holders of the Common Stock. The proposed Articles Amendment to be filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada, substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, will be filed as soon as practicable following the Special Meeting, should the proposal be approved.
Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split:
The Board recommends that the stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split for the following reasons:
As an initial matter, the Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split could improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock by increasing the market price of the Common Stock. Additionally, the Board believes that a reverse stock split could facilitate the listing of our common stock on a U.S. national securities exchange such as The NASDAQ Stock Market. In addition to initially creating a higher price per share, we also believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public, many of whom have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of Common Stock can result in individual shareholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share pric
