    Barring a massive meltdown in the back half of December, 2024 is primed to be a very good year for investors. But as we head toward the last trading day of the year, weekly data from Vickers Stock Research continues to suggest that insiders have shut down their capital-appreciation machines. Indeed, all of the major eight-week sell/buy ratios from Vickers continue to gently weaken but remain within the neutral range. On a sector basis, insider buying was the greatest in Energy over the last week, with shares valued at $11 million bought versus less than $7 million sold. Meanwhile, selling was the greatest in Financials over the last week, with shares valued at $509 million sold versus less than $3 million bought. This week, analysts at Vickers highlighted insider transactions of interest at Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE: APO) and SoFi Technologies Inc. (NGS: SOFI).
