Why This Trade Stands Out
Strong conviction signal
Scored above average across multiple factors. Roughly 15% of insider trades qualify as Strong.
~$128K purchase
A meaningful investment of personal capital. The average insider purchase is around $150K, putting this in the typical range for serious positions.
President and CEO
CEOs have the deepest knowledge of company operations. Academic research shows CEO purchases outperform other insider trades by a wide margin.
4 insiders traded in the same window
When multiple insiders independently buy within 30 days, it's called a cluster. Studies show clustered insider purchases outperform solo trades significantly, because several people with inside knowledge are reaching the same conclusion.
+45.9% in 90 days (S&P 500: +31.2%)
This trade beat the S&P 500 by 14.8 percentage points over 90 days. We track performance on every insider trade so you can see who consistently outperforms.

See who else bought · FreeOn March 18, 2020, Slifka Eric — President and CEO of Global Partners LP — filed a Form 4 with the SEC disclosing an open-market purchase of approximately ~$128K in Global Partners LP (GLP) stock.
This transaction was part of a cluster — 4 insiders at Global Partners LP made open-market purchases within the same 30-day window. Cluster activity from multiple independent insiders is one of the most studied patterns in insider trading research.

How to Read Insider Trades
What is this?
When company executives buy or sell their own stock, they must report it to the SEC within 2 days. These public filings reveal what the people who know the company best are doing with their own money.
Why does it matter?
Insiders can sell for many reasons (taxes, diversification, expenses), but they generally only buy for one: they think the stock is going up. That's why insider purchases are more predictive than sales.
What makes a trade "strong"?
We score trades on 15+ factors: the insider's role (CEO > director), trade size relative to their salary, whether other insiders also bought (clusters), and historical accuracy of the insider.
