An NVIDIA board director filed some of the week's largest insider sell transactions on September 2. Mark Stevens, an independent director, disclosed he sold roughly 1.785 million shares across multiple transactions on August 31 and September 2. The combined value totals approximately $410 million. NVIDIA has a $5.25 trillion market cap, so these sales remain a fraction of that figure — but the size is hard to ignore.
Meanwhile, the day's most bullish signal came from Bill Gates. The billionaire filed disclosures showing he bought around 2.46 million shares of Republic Services across 38 separate transactions between August 18 and August 31. The total haul was approximately $544 million. Gates is listed as a main shareholder. The steady accumulation over two weeks suggests deliberate conviction rather than a one-off bet.
Elsewhere, Genesis Minerals Executive Chairman Raleigh Finlayson filed a $29.6 million sale of 5 million shares of GMD on September 2. The trade was disclosed the same day, making it one of the freshest signals from the Australian mining sector this week.
On the sell side, NVIDIA General Counsel Tim Teter also reported sales totalling around $6.5 million filed September 2, though at a much smaller scale than Stevens.
The Gates buying spree in Republic Services stands out most. It runs counter to the selling trend seen elsewhere — and came during a period when RSG shares were broadly flat on the year. Investors typically read sustained open-market buying from major shareholders as a positive sign.
