CEO Doubles Down After COO Buy. Perfect Storm?
We flagged the COO's $241K buy this morning, and now CEO Salem drops another $362K at $6.04. That's $603K from C-suite in one day on a REIT trading near 52-week lows. The track record here is solid — insiders on KREF have been right 9 out of 10 times recently. But the technicals are screaming sell across every timeframe, so this is pure contrarian territory where you're betting the executives see value that the market doesn't.
