1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,240
There can be a lag time,
but where we've had the most success.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,560
Same idea is tracking corporate insiders.
So you think politicians know a lot,

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,359
well, imagine how well you could
trade the company stock following the CEO,

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,480
the chief financial officer, the board
members, the vice presidents. You know

5
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:23,640
their individual stock and so the difference
between them and politicians is they report almost

6
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:28,960
immediately. You are listening to Carrie

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,960
Network. I'm your host, Carrie
Lux. Well, this program you're about

12
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,040
to hear about, I have been
following it for months. I know for

13
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,319
a fact it works and it's really
simple. What group, what profession out

14
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:15,400
there has some of the most impressive
trading profits out there. Think about that

15
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,879
for a second. Well, I'll
tell you who Your Congress As an investor

16
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,439
class Congress has one of the best
records around and you think, how do

17
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:27,480
they do it? How can they
be that smart? They weren't that the

18
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:32,480
only thing they've ever accomplished in their
lives was getting elected. For most of

19
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:34,560
them. Well, I'll tell you
how they do it. They've got the

20
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:41,680
information and for you to trade on
that information you can't. However, you

21
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:47,840
can bootstrap onto them and you can
trade like a politician and person. You're

22
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,400
about to hear from Ross Gibbons.
Ross, so you're going to explain how

23
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:53,480
you do it. Hey, first
time on the show. I want to

24
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:59,239
welcome you on. Really excited to
have you on because I've been following this

25
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
for a while and I know that
it works. Well. Thanks, Carry,

26
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:05,200
It's a pleasure to come talk to
you in person. You know,

27
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:09,000
you and I are talking for the
show about this, and you know your

28
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,800
experience in a financial world, right, you've seen plenty of things to know

29
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,159
BS from non bs, and even
you were kind of surprised with some of

30
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:21,439
the examples I was telling you about. You know, the premise, like

31
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:23,840
you said, is tracking insider activity. Now when it comes to politicians,

32
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:28,919
that means members of Congress, like
you know, pelosiedure with a poster child

33
00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:32,879
for this stuff. But others have
access to information we don't. And when

34
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:37,560
it comes to investing, as you
know, that's the most valuable commodity there

35
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,879
is. Anything you know before it
is public knowledge can make you money.

36
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,280
So from a basic standpoint, give
you an example. Back when COVID hit

37
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:49,240
in twenty twenty, it really ramped
up. You remember, like March twenty

38
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,599
twenty, the market delt thirty percent
a month learnt. Yeah, Well,

39
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:57,319
COVID was briefed on I mean sorry, Congress was briefed on this in January

40
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:00,159
before you know how bad it is
in China, what's coming. They're planning

41
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:06,520
for shutting down the economy, and
several senders dumped all their stocks before that

42
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,439
they got out of the way of
you know where the fastest market meltdowns,

43
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,360
you know. So that's a big
picture. But then when it comes to

44
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:17,639
individual stocks, that's where you really
make the most money. Mean, even

45
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,680
if you time the market perfectly,
you're not going to make eight hundred percent

46
00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:25,840
on an index fund anytime soon.
So there was a story done, and

47
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,759
I want to say it was The
Times a few years back, looking at

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,439
how many of these members of Congress
made trades in stocks that were directly affected

49
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:40,639
by their activities, and the number
was was staggers. There were fifty five

50
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,199
of these people. But let me
give you a couple of just insane examples

51
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:49,159
that you think there's no way this
is this is possible. Representative Cindy Ashney

52
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,039
Okay and her husband were trading Wells
Fargo stock at the same time that she

53
00:03:55,199 --> 00:04:01,879
sat on the Financial Services Committee in
charge of investigating Wells Fargo over the Big

54
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:06,560
account scandal. They had no Earl
Blumenauer. This guy's buying defense stocks the

55
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:13,159
same day Russia invaded Ukraine. Catherine
Clark, this woman, Okay, So

56
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,759
cong Catherine Clark buys up a little
stock called hollow Logic back in twenty twenty,

57
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,439
little tiny off the radar stock.
Well, one week later, this

58
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:28,079
company is awarded a one hundred and
nineteen million dollars COVID nineteen testing contract.

59
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,240
Now you might think maybe that's a
coincidence. She is literally on the committee

60
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,480
that awarded that funding. So you
know, these examples are just and I

61
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,519
can give you a dozen more,
but they when they're proving to a certain

62
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,040
amount of information, you know,
you know about a big government contract that

63
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,399
that's going to go out or or
some other market movie piece of information.

64
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,480
They positioned themselves early in these stocks
and make a fortune in pelosis you mentioned

65
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,000
earlier, I mean shear In's congressional
salary. She made one hundred and fifty

66
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,360
million dollars to last thirty years from
trading. Now there her husband's trades.

67
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:05,279
You know. Hey, and if
we're we're bootstrapping on them, Ross,

68
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:10,959
we don't have to tell anybody who
told us what or whatever. We're just

69
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:15,319
using public information that's available if you
know where to look for it, right,

70
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:18,040
and you know where to look for
it. Yeah, And that's the

71
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:21,759
big thing this is this there's no
moral you know, issue with this.

72
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,600
It's one hundred percent league. Well, all you're doing, well, we're

73
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,639
trying to do is level the playing
field. You know, if these elected

74
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,000
politicians, these these public servants are
going to do this, well, the

75
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:38,240
very least we should see what they're
doing and have access to it. Now.

76
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,920
The only difficult part about following these
politicians is the lag time between when

77
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,000
they make that trade right publicly.
Yeah, so there's something there was a

78
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,160
stock act that made them start to
have to disclose the stuff. They should

79
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,920
just do it or they want it
now they have to report it, but

80
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,240
they get forty five days to report
it. So you know, if they

81
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,439
buy middle of January, they don't
have to report it till earst of March,

82
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,360
you know, so there can be
a lag time. But where we've

83
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:11,600
had the most success, same idea
is tracking corporate insiders. So you think

84
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,800
politicians know a lot, well,
imagine how well you could trade the company

85
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,439
stock following the CEO, the chief
financial officer, at the board, members,

86
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:25,199
the vice presidents, you know,
their individual stock. And so the

87
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,480
difference between them and politicians is they
report almost immediately. They get forty eight

88
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,399
hours. Most of them do it
sooner because all they have to do is

89
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:36,839
fill out this form forces I've bought
this maney shares of our stock at this

90
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,680
price, etc. While with the
secity boom, they're off the hook for

91
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,720
insider trading. They have no liability. They reported it. It's going to

92
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,600
plan. We can see all these
So we've made a business over the last

93
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,439
six and a half years of this
for thousand members. All we do is

94
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,759
track this stuff and we're looking for
obvious example or you know, we're looking

95
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,079
for I'll give you a great example. We bought a stock I recommended our

96
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,560
members buy a stock ticker symbols c
a t X back January fourth of this

97
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:11,399
year. It's Perspective Therapeutics, little
biotech company, thirty forty cents a share,

98
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,800
totally off the radar. Now you
know what moves biotechs. It ain't

99
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,439
earnings, it ain't sales. It's
DROW trial results, right, it's political

100
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,360
trials. It's all news driven Phase
one, two and three. Yeah,

101
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,759
Ingo, that's it. So the
only way you're gonna get edge in those

102
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,079
kind of stocks if you know how
those trials are going, is the drug

103
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,720
showing promise is gonna get FDA approval
that those stocks either go with one thousand

104
00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:35,279
percent of they go to zero.
You know their lontery tickets. If you

105
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:41,120
don't know, they get caught out
by Pfizer and DAK and whomever, right

106
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:44,959
exactly. And so we had this
one. We saw that's okay, one

107
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:47,120
person's buying a few shares and two
people have buying a few shares. But

108
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,360
we had in like a twelve day
window, I want to say, ten

109
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:55,120
to twelve insider buys the stock at
the same time. So we had the

110
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,720
chief financial officer buying, We had
several board members buying vice presidents and mainly

111
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,519
the chief medical officer at the company's
buying. This guy puts in like half

112
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,680
his annual salary into the stock at
all, at like fifty two week highs

113
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,519
in the middle of phase two drgue
trial studies. It's like, you don't

114
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,720
need a crystal ball to go.
I bet things are going pretty good over

115
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,279
there. Yeah, you know,
sounds like it. I mean, so

116
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,360
anyway, look, if you look
up the stock, it's up three hundred

117
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,240
and twenty percent since then in the
last you know, four months. So

118
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:31,199
those are the kind of opportunities I
call it opportunistic buying, right, But

119
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:33,960
not just oh this guy buys every
quarter. Oh this you know, the

120
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,879
ceo ad shares every year, or
you know, oh he was just made

121
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,720
ceo, so he's putting one hundred
grand into show his faith in the company.

122
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,039
But we're looking for stuff like,
you know, five ten insiders buying

123
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,440
all at once. Suddenly out of
nowhere, we're looking for stocks where insiders

124
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,919
rarely buy, and now suddenly we
have this huge cluster of buying we're looking

125
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,600
for. Hey, the last three
times this guy bought the stock, it

126
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,480
was at the lower before some big
announcements, So it looks like he's got

127
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,000
a history of doing this and over
time, you know, we've we've never

128
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,440
had a losing year, uh doing
this, We've had I think we I

129
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,200
think our worst year and it's like
this is assuming twenty percent per stock based

130
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,440
on our entries. I think our
worst year is like thirty percent. Our

131
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,360
best year is three hundred or so. Uh, And we made money in

132
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,440
twenty two getting alongside. So they
don't all work. Sometimes it's coincidence,

133
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,879
you know. Sometimes they're betting on
some merger, some deal and it falls

134
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,639
apart. Sometimes there's just a bear
market and it hammers everything. But you

135
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,039
know, we've seen stocks. We
bought an energy stock in twenty twenty,

136
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,840
what a nineteen hundred percent of the
next two years, you know, And

137
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,120
you don't need you don't need a
ton of those winners. Yeah, only

138
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,559
need a few of them, you
know what. So I tell people said,

139
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,240
it's not bulletproof. Anybody tells you
their strategy wor one hundred percent of

140
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,200
the time, better run the other
way because it's not gonna happen. I

141
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,480
don't care how you're doing it,
you're gonna occasionally lose ten percent twelve percent,

142
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,600
fifteen percent. You know, Buffet's
lucky to get it right half the

143
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:54,679
time. But by kind of fishing
from a stock pond, so to speak,

144
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,799
you know, focusing on those stocks
but the insiders are buying greatly increases

145
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,679
your your odds of success. All
right, oll, Hey, so how

146
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,679
do we uh, how do we
find out more about this? How do

147
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,720
we connect with you on the web. Yeah, so our website is traders

148
00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:15,840
Agency dot com, Go Transition dot
com. Uh, click there. We

149
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:20,080
do we do really do a training
event on this once a month or so

150
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,600
where we hold these kind of one
