This is a negative take for regular investors: the market is set up to favor insiders and big shareholders at everyone else's expense.

• Companies hand executives huge piles of stock, which dilutes regular shareholders and quietly shrinks the value of their shares.
• Insiders know when sales and profits are about to stall, so they sell early while small investors keep believing the hype.
• Tesla is the example: Elon Musk sold $25 billion in stock, and shares fell for over two years as it became an easy bet against.
• Retail investors are stuck trading against people who have inside information they will never see.

Outlook: Expect more of the same — insider selling and stock-based pay will keep working against small investors unless rules or company behavior change.
