Promoters know their company better than any outside analyst, and they raise their stake with their own money for exactly one reason. A half-point increase in a single quarter is a deliberate act, not drift. The trend filter keeps the list to stocks the market already agrees with — insider buying into a broken chart is a different, harder trade.
