Question 1

What is Insider + Institutional Alignment?

Accepted Answer

Stocks where corporate insiders (Form 4) and institutional investors (13F) both buy in the same quarter. Requires 3+ institutional buyers AND at least 1 insider purchase within 90 days. Insider selling dampens the score.

Question 2

Why combine insider and institutional signals?

Accepted Answer

Insiders see operational fundamentals; institutions see market positioning. When both buy the same stock in the same quarter, the alignment carries information from both vantage points — academic research suggests insider buys are 2–3x more informative than insider sells.

Question 3

What alignment score is meaningful?

Accepted Answer

Scores above 60 where both sides are strong (3+ institutional buyers AND $1M+ in insider purchases) are the highest-quality alignment signals. The tighter the timing between insider and institutional buying, the stronger the signal (temporal bonus up to 10 points).
