Every weekend, I dive into our insider activity tracker looking for the most interesting and bullish buys — and let me tell you, this week didn’t disappoint.

Let’s break it down:

The Hot Corner continues to light up, with political filings stealing the spotlight once again.

Sen. Ashley Moody was active, making sizable buys in Nvidia $NVDA and Super Micro Computer $SMCI — dropping between $100K and $250K into each.

This purchase is significantly larger than the typical size seen in political filings, making it a bold move that definitely grabs my attention.

And with Tech reclaiming the leadership this month, these are exactly the kinds of stocks we want on our radar.

Meanwhile, Sen. Michael McCaul was busy, buying shares in  Netflix $NFLX and CACI International $CACI.

The largest insider buy on today's list comes from Bay Resources Partners LP.

The money manager reported a purchase with a total value of $1.1 million in Cracker Barrel Old Country Store $CBRL.

Meanwhile, multiple directors filed Form 4s for Triumph Financial $TFIN disclosing an aggregate purchase of $409,000.

TFIN ranks as the third-worst-performing regional bank so far in 2025.

The stock is now sitting on a key polarity level, making this an opportune spot for insiders to show some faith.
