INK stands for Insider News and Knowledge. Our Company Insider Alert (CIA) Interactive service is
built on the legally reported buying and selling of public company executives and institutional
investors (10% security holders).
CIA Interactive is a distinct subscription service that allows your
portfolio to benefit from the tendency of insider buying and selling to outperform the market.
To make insider signals even more powerful, we combine them with valuation and momentum factors to help expand your investment opportunities.
The INK Edge Outlook ranks over 6,000 US and Canadian stocks based on our V.I.P. criteria:

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 that could end up breaking to either the bright or stormy side are in the mixed category. Watch our INK Edge Outlook video for a quick overview .

Insiders and Company News

We provide news releases distributed by major newswire providers ACCESSWIRE, Business Wire, CNW, GlobeNewswire, Newsfile, PR Newswire, and TheNewswire. Combining company news with insider buying or selling can be a powerful investing tool. If insiders are selling after bad news, shouldn't you be too? On the other hand, if news is good, and insiders keep buying it could signal a growth opportunity!

Inflation Hedge
The INK Canadian Insider Index has outperformed the broad Canadian market during relatively strong inflation periods. With Governments and central banks responding to
COVID-19 with unprecedented amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus, investors are becoming more concerned about potential inflation down the road. Watch our Spring 2020
index presentation to learn how Canadian mid-cap stocks as tracked by the INK CIN Index offer a way to hedge and potentially profit from rising inflation.

INK Insider Indicators
Our exclusive INK indicators are a daily rolling survey about how insiders view the opportunity to make money in the market or in specific sectors.
When an indicator hits a peak, insiders are the most optimistic. Back in late fall 2008, INK's market indicators hit an all-time peak suggesting that stocks were deeply undervalued and presented a significant buying opportunity. Share prices subsequently rallied strongly, with many small cap names doubling in value over the next year.
INK's indicator coverage includes all top level North American Sectors and key industries.
Following insider sentiment is invaluable during periods of market volatility. Insider views on the market can help you confirm whether or not it's time to take money off the table during periods of euphoric rallies or to buy when stocks are falling.
CIA Interactive now includes free real-time quotes from Nasdaq CXC and Nasdaq CX2 for TSX and Venture listed stocks. Company and ETF pages display either the live last price from the Nasdaq CXC and Nasdaq CX2 trading systems or other prices such as the TSX or TSX Venture, depending on which source is the most recent.
