Insider Purchases:

Below is the list of insider buys from yesterday and this morning sorted by level of short selling. The idea here is simple. Find stocks where insiders are buying and the shorts are “dumb short sellers”. Insider buying and short selling exists in Quantumscape (QS) and Oak Valley Bancorp (OVLY) and we note shorts are feeling pain in OVLY and yet in QS.  As such we like this as a long idea. Updated 6/1
