11-29-17 Insider Trading: Warning, Corporate Buyback Pattern Shift Exposed! by Lynette Zang

We are now in the ninth week in the corporate sector buying pattern shift, with two sectors not buying at all. Technology leads the Buy/Sell Ratio at $99.30 of selling for every $1 of buying, though Genpact Ltd., an AI firm for businesses, has an outstanding $720 of selling to buying over the past 12 months with almost half of the selling taking place over the past 3 months.

Insiders and institutional selling has been masked by corporate stock buybacks since 2009, with non-financial corporate debt almost doubling since then, to accomplish this end. But now we can see a pattern shift there as well.

According to the Wall Street Journal, companies in the S&P spent the least on corporate buybacks since 2012. In addition, PKW (Nasdaq Buyback ETF), confirms this pattern shift. Since these buybacks are one of the key drivers pushing these markets to new highs, what are the implications of this shift?
