You have seen the engine room

Few finance sites let you get this far, and none we know of also shows you where its knowledge ends. If this way of working convinces you, the thing almost nobody catches in time can reach you by email: the big insider buys — executives and major shareholders putting in their own money — the same day they report them to the SEC, with the Form 4 linked. It takes three steps and none of them costs anything: create the account, confirm the email we send you, then switch the alert on in your profile (the icon at the top right). It starts off and it goes off again with the same click. Along the way all three are saved: your simulator portfolios, your personal portfolio and your Academy progress, synced across devices.
