๐ J.B. selling, not buyin'
Markets hit a pause button this week as earnings season intensified, volatility picked up, and leadership continued to rotate beneath the surface. Indexes chopped, conviction thinned, and traders were forced to get more selective with risk. And while headlines stayed focused on macro and mega-caps, JBHT insider selling quietly sent a message smart money was paying attention to.
Good afternoon and happy Sunday! Here is a quick market rundown and an โinsideโ peek behind the curtains of what C-Level Execs, Wall St. Hedge Fund Gurus, and politicians are trading right nowโฆ!
