Insider trading is very useful info. About 8 months ago, the Wall Street Journal insider trading guru Bob Gabele noticed that Intel insiders weren't selling their shares in the first 4 months of the year. This was very aberrant behaviour for executives with as long history of insider transactions, so Gabele wrote a column noting that Intel was likely to be a good buy at the time. If you followed his advice, you would've doubled your money. Insider selling is more difficult to judge than insider buying, but clues are still available for the astute investor. The biggest red flag to look for is a large number of insiders selling at the same time. In Intel's case, the top 2 executives sold at once. Personal reasons could account for a single individual's sales (such as Grove's large sale in July), but it's not likely that multiple insiders would simultaneously feel the need for cash.
