Canadian Stocks
When everyone was selling in the late fall of 2008, insiders went on a historic shopping spree for stocks.
This turned out to remarkably profitable for Canadian insiders with the S&P/TSX Composite returning more
than 40% in 2009 while Venture did more than twice as well, edging out even China benchmarks.
In this report, we collect, organize and analyze the buying and selling actions of Canadian corporate
insiders to help investors decide how aggressive to be in stocks and which sectors to favour. Through our
INK indicators, we assess whether insiders believe that the Canadian market and key sector are under or
overvalued. We update these indicators every day in the Market INK report and Henry Chan provides an
analysis of insider sentiment every Monday.
The report includes our flagship INK Indicator which measures insider sentiment towards TSX-listed stocks.
The INK Indicator has been referred to as a "Key TSX Indicator" by the Globe and Mail.
You can see the benefit of following insider sentiment from the chart above. As complete panic
conditions and gloom gripped the market during the fall of 2008, insider buying went through the roof.

INK Research subscribers are eligible for an invitation to
INK Research Chat, a community forum for exchanging investment insights, ideas, questions, and answers.
We often discuss names that do not make it into our morning report, often due to space limitations. We also follow up on names that are highlighted in the report.
Group participants also contribute ideas.
So far, the chat has generated some big winners in the mining and healthcare areas. We also discuss some critical ideas
contained in Real Vision videos such as whether markets are under or overvalued. INK Chat has been launched in the belief that when a group of experienced, serious and
intelligent thinkers get together to share insights, great things can happen.
