Recent insider filings show a clear split between buyers and sellers across US markets.

The most bullish signal came from BSX. Boston Scientific CEO Michael Mahoney filed a $9M purchase on August 5. He bought 186,240 shares on August 3. Two directors also bought the same week. That cluster of buying from the top is a strong statement of confidence.

On the sell side, the biggest US story is LTH. Life Time Group's founder and CEO Bahram Akradi filed sales worth $19.5M on August 4. The CFO and a division president sold the same day. All three trades occurred on July 31. That coordinated exit across three top executives stands out.

PBF has also seen heavy selling. Billionaire Carlos Slim Helú has been filing sales steadily. He dumped over $100M worth of the oil refiner's shares over the past month. The latest filings hit on August 3.

Charles Schwab himself filed two sales totaling $20.1M in SCHW last week. CVX director John Hess sold $19.4M worth of Chevron stock on August 5. Over at DELL, Silver Lake filed 114 transactions totalling $213M in sales throughout July.
