Vistra's CEO Doubles His Bet, Now $1.17M in 30 Days
James Burke runs Vistra, the integrated power producer that generates electricity and sells it retail across Texas and beyond. He already stepped in back in August, and now he's back at $135.49 with another $903,069, pushing his 30-day total past $1.17 million. Utilities are out of favor right now as money rotates away from rate-sensitive defensives, so this is a CEO leaning into weakness his own sector is showing. What gives it teeth is the record here: insider buys on this name have paid off better than four out of five times over 90 days, with real returns behind them. Timeframes are fighting each other short-term, but the 8-day is closing on the 20-day, and if it crosses the algorithms come in behind the guy who already knows the business cold.
