👀 Selling my ABC's

What a week: still choppy ... still rising. While headline risk spiked, the market somehow pulled off a win. The CEO of Alphabet Inc. sold 32,500 shares of Alphabet at about $250.15 per share, for a total of around $8.13 million...

Good afternoon and happy Sunday! Here is a quick market rundown and an ‘inside’ peek behind the curtains of what C-Level Execs, Wall St. Hedge Fund Gurus, and politicians are trading right now…!

📊 Market Recap — Week Ending Oct 17, 2025

  • The S&P 500 rose ~0.5% on Friday and ended the week in the green, despite earlier turbulence.

  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite each gained around 0.5% Friday; the Nasdaq led with roughly ~2.1% for the week.

  • Amid the rally, volatility still lurked: fears over regional-bank loan losses & trade tension kept traders jittery.

🔑 Key Drivers

  • Bank-stress scare: Worries flared around regional lenders’ bad-loan exposure and credit risks — European banks took a hit too.

  • Trade affair redux: Easing rhetoric between the U.S. and China helped soothe nerves and lift risk assets late in the week.

  • Rotation/relief rally: With some of the upside locked in, investors shifted toward beaten-down corners — but tech and high-valuation names remain under pressure.

  • Fund flows bounce-back: Equity funds saw a return of inflows (over $1 billion+) as optimism about rate cuts and earnings kicked in.

🧭 Key Takeaways & What to Watch

  • Green + shaky = resilience: Despite jitters over credit and trade, the market finished up — a sign that risk appetite remains intact.

  • Insiders mostly selling, not buying: When large sales dominate, especially among executives and fund holders, it often signals “harvest time” rather than fresh conviction.

  • Fewer massive buys = fewer confident rallies: Big insider buys are rarer — when they surface, they deserve spotlighting.

  • Watch the under-surface shifts: Tech/growth under pressure; financials + banks volatile; trade/credit risks active. Rotation may be quietly in motion.

  • Volatility remains a companion: The scare factors haven’t gone away — bank credit, trade headlines, valuations all still in play. Stay nimble.
