Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Insiders at nine AI companies sold $7.39 billion in stock across 282 SEC Form 4 filings before Thursday's sell-off. The disclosures show executives and directors had been exiting positions well ahead of the crash rather than reacting to it. The scale of the selling points to early caution among those closest to the companies about valuations. The filings cover multiple AI-linked firms, though the article does not break out individual totals. Watch whether further Form 4 disclosures show insiders continuing to trim exposure or stepping back in after the decline.

Muhabbit's AI wrote this summary in its own words from Protos's report. It can get details wrong, so check the source.
