TRX Q3 2026 insider selling totaled $21B versus $923M in buys, Reddit post says
A r/stocks community post reports that Q3 2026 insider trades totaled $21.0B sold versus $923M bought, with 5,121 sellers at 1,885 companies against 1,371 buyers at 792 companies. It states 680 CEOs sold $6.99B while 289 CEOs bought $270M, and argues the selling figure overstates the signal because 51 sellers did 45% of the selling. The post also notes NVIDIA director Mark Stevens sold $947.6M and Bezos sold $346.5M of Amazon.
