The CFO Follows the Director In, Same Week, Same Washout

ISB Research · Strong Buy · sent to Ultimate members September 28, 2026

Five days after a director bought this Appalachian shale driller near the floor of its yearly range, the finance chief just wrote his own $299,993 check at $13.44. That's two insiders in a month on a name sitting near the bottom of its 12-month range while the broader market holds above its short-term trend, which is the setup with the best record we track. Energy has been the strongest corner of the tape lately, up almost 16% over three months before this recent stall, so Baetz is stepping into a pullback in a sector that's working. Fair warning: the 30-day record on past buys here has been rough, and the real payoff has shown up closer to the 90-day mark. A trader who agrees with him could sell a put spread beneath $13.44, getting paid to wait and maybe an entry cheaper than the CFO's.
