Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.
The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.
Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock’s valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider’s total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company’s shares or units.
TC Energy Corp. (TRP-T)
On Nov. 2, director John Lowe invested over US$195,000 in shares of TC Energy. He purchased 5,000 shares at a price per share of US$39.0876, increasing this particular account’s position to 25,000 shares.

The relative strength index is at 28. Generally, an RSI reading at or below 30 reflects an oversold condition.
