Short Interest e Insider Trading

Scritto il 15 Aprile 2010 alle 11:39 da Danilo DT

Oramai siamo ad un passo dal target. Sembrava impossibile, ed invece no. Perentoriamente, pian pianino, il mercato azionario si è mosso al rialzo e, bruciando le tappe, incurante dell’ipercomprato e delle vicissitudini macro sul debito, ormai si trova ad un tiro di schioppo da quel livello posto a 61.8% di Fibonacci.
I volumi si mantengono comunque sempre elevati anche se in leggera diminuzione. Occorre però notare che i cosiddetto Short Interest sono ormai ad un passo dal top. Ed inoltre, non possiamo certo sottovalutare il fatto che le cosiddette “mani forti” e ben informate si stanno muovendo. Ma non in acquisto. Bensì in vendita. Il sito MarketWatch http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-insiders-pick-up-their-selling-2010-04-14 ce ne dà testimonianza.

Last week, according to the latest issue of Vickers’ service, insiders on balance sold 4.96 shares of their companies’ stock for every one that they bought.
That’s more than double the ratio for the week in early February when the stock market hit its low for the correction, when it stood at 1.96 to 1. In fact, the recent ratio is quite close to the 5.15-to-1 ratio that prevailed in the week in which the stock market hit its January high — just before the correction commenced.
To be sure, there is a lot of volatility to the weekly ratios, especially when the overall volume of insider transactions is relatively light — as indeed they have been lately. This is one of the reasons that Vickers also calculates an eight-week average of their sell-to-buy ratio. It currently stands at 4.18-to-1.
Quindi risulta chiaro che l’insider trading si sta spostando verso una chiara posizione bearish. E sempre in ambito di analisi bearish oggi vi presento un interessante report.

Vi propongo un documento che ritengo valido per capire dove va e come si comporta lo short interest. Vi presento, alla data del 31 marzo, le 100 posizioni più importanti shortate sul NYSE, i 50 maggiori cambiamenti di short interest sempre sul NYSE (le società con volumi maggiori) sia la rialzo che al ribasso. Accompagnate dal grafico che ne testimonia l’andamento medio a livello volumetrico.
Credo che sia un documento esclusivo che vi farà capire come si sta evolvendo il mercato azionario.
