The GuruFocus All-in-One Screener can be used to find insider trades from a specific period of time or for a certain range of values. For these stock picks, I went under the Insiders tab and changed the settings for All Insider Buying to “$200,000+,” the duration to “December 2019” and All Insider Sales to “$200,000+.”

According to these filters, the following are this week's most significant trades from company insiders.
