Connection thesis
Coordinated insider Form 4 filings across PLTR, AMZN, GOOGL, AAPL (April 27-28) following NVIDIA's 8-K material event (April 27) suggests synchronized executive positioning ahead of a sector-wide catalyst. This mirrors the April 19-22 pattern that scored 0.5-0.7. The clustering is too tight to be coincidental; insiders are likely reacting to shared intelligence about AI capex cycles or competitive positioning. NVIDIA's material event is the trigger; other mega-caps are responding.

Lesson
The prediction was mostly correct, suggesting some signal in coordinated insider filings. However, the narrative notes that QQQ and SPY both moved +1.0%, meaning that the outperformance may be overstated, or driven by general market movement rather than the specific insider activity. The lesson is to isolate signal from broader market trends.
