Flip Floppers

The Flip Flopper is a premium screen that identifies insiders who purchased and sold shares within a period of time.

This is called the "short-swing profit rule". Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 states that if an insider of a public company buys and sells, or on the other hand sells and buys, stock of the company within a six-month period, they have to disgorge profits from these "matching" trades to the company.

The rule is used to discourage insiders from using the information they possess to make short-term profits. Every once in a while, we come across insider transactions where the insider indicates that the transaction violates the Short-Swing Profit rule and that the insider is going to return any profits from the prior trade back to the company. Flip flopping insiders are sending us a signal that they think the prevailing winds have changed and that they are willing to give up some short-term profits to make even more money down the road.
