Unless you are a member of Congress you would go to jail for trading on inside information.
However, for those of us who can’t escape prosecution (like certain Congressmen/women) there is a legal way around it…and it’s a no-brainer.
Sort of.
This is so simple, you’ll need someone to help you misunderstand it.
Ready?
Here it is. Buy stocks that buyback their own shares.
Pretty simple, yes?
And if you’re wondering why it makes sense, just look at the three most common reasons why companies’ buyback their own shares:
-
Their stock is undervalued
-
Improve financial ratios and boost confidence
-
Reward shareholders without the taxation of dividends
To further illustrate this point, look at some data we borrowed from an S&P research source using AI:
The historical growth of $10,000 invested in the 100 large-cap companies with the highest share buyback ratios versus the S&P 500 Index from 1976 through May 2026 yields the following:
-
The top 100 Share Buyback companies grew to over $10,900,000.
-
The S&P index grew to $2,21000.
-
In Plain English that means you made $8,690,000 MORE (from your $10,000) buying companies that bought back their own shares than you would have made buying the S&P index. (Data per Standard & Poors and Ford Equity Research).
Sounds like a no-brainer, right?
For the most part it works like a charm.
However, there are exceptions that can hit you like a 2 X 4 upside your head leaving you dizzy and broke.
It’s called corporate theft via desperation.
