The insider trading trend within the Electronics Sector pretty much followed the movement of the U.S. stock market. It is observed that except for the big downturn before November 2010, the 4-week insider buy ratio and electronic distributors and semiconductors industries began to rally since then. However, the most recent 4-week insider buy ratio slid as the entire U.S. stock market took a downturn.
Electronic Sector 4-week Insider Buy Ratio: Decreased from 20% to 16%
Electronic Sector 13-week Insider Buy Ratio: Increased from 16% to 21%
Electronic Sector 52-week Insider Buy Ratio: Decreased from 24% to 19%
