🚨 Stay on top of your investments and ideas with intraday alerts

One of the most popular features with our members is our intraday alert notification service. These include email alerts for Canadian and US insider filings emailed to you intraday:


💻 Monitor valuations with a wide set of popular ratios.

It can be a positive sign when insiders are buying a stock that has relatively cheap valuations and a warning sign if they are heavily and consistently selling an expensive name. Put this insight to work by monitoring the Canadian Insider valuations tab for every company you follow.



📈 Insiders and technicals are a powerful combination

It is rare to see insiders buy a stock outperforming the market. When they do, it can be a positive sign. Likewise, if they are selling a name that is losing momentum, this can be a warning sign. It is more usual to see insiders buying a beaten down stock, which is a positive contrarian sign. However, it is usually a bad sign to see insiders selling a losing name. Use the Canadian Insider company chart to see if insiders are buying in relation to recent price action and use custom charts to put insider activity into the context of a stock’s technical trend.

Pulling it together with the INK Edge outlook

Harnessing the power of the INK Research data warehouse with its decades of information, every night the INK Edge outlook ranks over 6,000 US and Canadian stocks for you based on our V.I.P. criteria:

  • Valuations
  • Insider commitment
  • Price momentum


We assign a Sunny outlook to the strongest stocks while weakest end up in the Rainy category. Those with promising outlooks are assigned a Mostly Sunny outlook while those with above average risk get a Cloudy reading. Stocks in the middle are of neutral interest but any one of them could surprise to the up or downside. Note, outlooks are not stock recommendations but seek to categorize opportunity and risk based on our V.I.P. metrics

Use the INK Edge outlook to help with stock idea generation and conviction checking for existing positions you may hold or new ones you are considering.

Look for the INK Edge outlook in our core INK Research morning, company, and monthly Top 40, Energy Top 30, and Mining Top 20 reports.

✅ The INK Edge Outlook institutional track record: The INK Canadian Insider Index
The INK Canadian Insider Index represents the institutional live track record for the INK Edge outlook process. Since going live on November 14, 2014, the Index has more than doubled as of the start of 2024. In contrast, the S&P/TSX Composite Index is up less than 50% over the same period (both returns are on a price basis). The Index is calculated live by global index provider Solactive and is available on Canadian Insider and the Bloomberg terminal (INKCINP Index)


The INK Canadian Insider Index applies a rules-based process that uses INK Edge outlook rankings.
