Examples
- When the 10-year Treasury yield jumps, fast-growing technology stocks often fall, because their future profits are worth less today. You can see both on this page at once.
- A red heatmap with green insider purchases underneath is worth a second look: the people who run those companies were buying while the market was selling.

How to read it
- Form 4

- 13F
- A quarterly list of U.S. stocks held by an investment manager with more than $100 million, filed within 45 days after each quarter ends.
- STOCK Act
- A 2012 law that requires members of Congress to report stock trades by themselves, a spouse or a dependent child within 45 days.
A real example
In January 2016, when bank stocks were falling, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon bought 500,000 JPMorgan shares with his own money, worth about $26 million. His Form 4 made the purchase public within days, and investors read it as a strong sign of confidence.
Explain it like I'm 13
