Why are corporate insiders dumping huge numbers of shares in their own companies right now? Why are some very large investors suddenly making gigantic bets that the stock market will crash at some point in the next 60 days? Do Wall Street insiders expect something really BIG to happen very soon? Do they know something that we do not know? What you are about to read below is startling. Every time that the market has fallen in recent years, insiders have been able to get out ahead of time. David Coleman of the Vickers Weekly Insider report recently notedthat Wall Street insiders have shown “a remarkable ability of late to identify both market peaks and troughs”. That is why it is so alarming that corporate insiders are selling nine times as many shares as they are buying right now. In addition, some extraordinarily large bets have just been made that will only pay off if the financial markets in the U.S. crash by the end of April. So what does all of this mean? Well, it could mean absolutely nothing or it could mean that there are people out there that actually have insider knowledge that a market crash is coming.

Fellows of Harvard College, don't you realize that your own reputations, as well as Harvard's, are on the line if you continue to keep this little club together?"

As reported in this Associated Press video, CEO pay exceeds pre-recession level - while millions of Americans are unemployed, homeless, have no healthcare, have no more pensions, etc.
I've decided that instead of getting mad at these lucky bankers, it's best to have a little fun with them. So now I try to envision them singing and dancing to Madonna's song - "Lucky Star." Each week I will blog about some of these Wall Street bankers and will induct them into our Wall $treet Lucky $tar Hall of Fame.
