Introducing Kaleidoscope Console: See the People and Money Behind Public Companies
Kaleidoscope Console is live. See who owns a public company, who trades it and what they filed, all built from SEC filings.
Every public company is shaped by the people around it. Funds build and trim positions. Executives and directors buy and sell their own stock. Activists take stakes and push for change. Nearly all of it is reported to the SEC, but it’s spread across thousands of filings in formats few people enjoy reading. Console brings it together so you can see the full picture in one place.
What Console does
Console answers three simple questions about any public company.
- Who owns it? See which funds hold the stock, how their positions changed, and who has taken a large or activist stake.
- Who trades it? See what executives, directors and major holders bought and sold, and when.
- What did they file? See what the company and its holders actually disclosed, organized so you don’t have to read every filing yourself.
You don’t need to know any SEC form names to use it. Console does the sorting, so you can focus on what the activity means.
What’s inside
Everything in Console comes from SEC filings and is dated to the day it was filed, so you know exactly when the information became public.
| Data | SEC form | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Fund ownership | 13F | Which large investment firms owned the stock at the end of each quarter, and whether they bought more or sold |
| Large and activist stakes | 13D, 13G | Who owns more than 5% of the company, and whether they plan to simply hold the stock or push for changes |
| Insider trades | Form 4 | When executives and directors buy or sell their own company’s stock, and whether the trade was scheduled ahead of time |
| Filing topics | Company filings | More than 500 tags that sort what companies talk about in their filings, so you can find a topic without reading every page |
That last detail matters. Some insider sales are scheduled months in advance. Others are decided that week. They can mean very different things, and Console shows you which is which.
What Console can show: Q2 Smart Money vs. Insiders
To show Console in action, our first report looks at four stocks from April to June 2026 (Q2). It compares what well-known investment funds did, often called “smart money,” with what insiders did. Insiders are the executives and directors who run the company. In all four stocks, the two groups went in opposite directions.
CoreWeave
Funds bought, insiders sold
Well-known funds bought $5.9B more CoreWeave stock than they sold in Q2. Then, the day after CoreWeave reported its Q2 results, Magnetar, one of its early backers, started selling: $478.8M over three days. Executives sold another $29.7M. None bought.
Seagate
Funds bought, insiders sold
Funds bought $11.1B of Seagate in Q2, more than any other stock in the report. Since then, Seagate’s executives have sold $165.8M by choice, not under a scheduled plan. The CEO sold $94.9M and the CFO sold $47.5M.
Dick’s Sporting Goods
Funds sold, insiders bought
Funds sold about $259M of Dick’s stock in Q2. Insiders did the opposite: seven of them bought a combined $5.6M with their own money, and none sold. For two of them, the CFO and the president, it was their first purchase in at least five years.
Boston Scientific
Funds sold, insiders bought
Funds sold about $260M of Boston Scientific in Q2. Then the CEO bought $9.0M of stock, about 27 times the size of a typical purchase.
The full report has the details on all four companies, including what each company said in its filings around the trades.
Why seeing both sides matters
Same companies, same quarter, different signals. Fund filings tell you what big investors did. Insider filings tell you what the people running the company did. If you only look at one, you only get half the story.
The two are also reported on different schedules. Insider trades must be reported within two business days. Fund holdings can show up as late as six weeks after a quarter ends. Console puts them on one timeline by filing date, so you can see who moved first and what was public at the time.
See it for yourself
The Q2 report is just the start. Console covers who owns, who trades and what’s been filed for public companies, so you can make the same kind of comparison for the companies you follow.
