When a CEO buys their own stock, they have to tell the SEC.

It's called a Form 4. It's filed within two business days. It's free, public, and posted on EDGAR — and roughly nobody outside Wall Street ever opens one. We open all of them. You get the handful that matter.

Form 4 · Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership Reporting person: ██████████████
Relationship: Director · Officer (CEO)
Transaction: P — Open market purchase
Securities acquired: ████████ shares
Price: ██████ · Value: $510,632
Holdings following: ████████████

Redacted sample — but the numbers are real, taken from a filing in the current batch. The unredacted version, with the filer's name and ticker linked to the original SEC document, goes out in the dossier.

Cluster detected · the pattern we actually hunt for

Four directors of the same bank. Same day. Same price.

One insider buying is a data point. Four board members of one company filing open-market purchases on the same date at an identical price is the kind of thing that leads the dossier — and it is exactly what a keyword alert or a headline will never tell you.
