If a billionaire is buying, pay close attention.
They’re not likely to put their money where their mouths are, unless they’re confident.
Look at Nike (NKE), for example.
Nike dropped from about $69 to a low of $56.99 on weak China sales, declining gross margins, and a cautious outlook.


However, Apple’s Tim Cook sees value, having just bought $3 million worth of Nike stock at the bottom of a trend. Cook, who has been on the NKE board since 2005, bought 50,000 shares at an average price of $58.97 a share. Robert Swan, another Nike director, bought about $500,000 of stock on Dec. 22 at an average price of $57.54.
While NKE isn’t out of the woods just yet, it’s encouraging to see insider confidence.
Technically, after catching strong support at about $57, the oversold shoe giant is starting to pivot higher. Last trading at $60.93, it’s also starting to pivot from overextensions on RSI, MACD, and Williams’ %R. From here, we’d like to see it initially refill its bearish gap at around $66.20 a share over the next few days.
Sincerely,
Ian Cooper
