Not every insider transaction in BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ is a signal for immediate action. Professional investors look for "cluster buying"—when multiple executives simultaneously purchase $MER shares on the open market. It is crucial to distinguish between scheduled sales (under Rule 10b5-1) and voluntary increases in ownership, which demonstrate management’s true conviction that the stock is undervalued.
