True Alpha, Q Shares, Insiders and Addiction -- Stock Gumshoe Weekend Update

And for the rest of the week that was?

It's always fun to think about following the "insiders" who make big and prescient bets on stock, so my eye was drawn to this tease about a biotech "insider" who's betting $350,000 on his own company -- is that a big deal? Is the company worth a look? See what I found when you click here.
