    As earnings season progresses, insiders are still nowhere near to giving an 'all clear' signal for the stock market. Insider selling activity across the Nasdaq, NYSE, and ASE outpaced buying activity by a factor of nearly 4.00 over the past week, this on a scale where anything above 2.50 is bearish. Still, longer-term readings from Vickers Stock Research have improved over the past several weeks, with the Total Eight-Week Sell/Buy Ratio falling to 4.25 from last week's 4.67, as well as from the mid-March high of 5.73. This calming in the eight-week ratios suggests insiders prepared themselves for the volatility we've seen of late and are now in a less-defensive but still-cautious posture.
