Could also be confirmation bias. If you see the stock going up before a good news you notice it and think this is insider dealing. If you see the stock going down you don’t notice it because it is just a random movement.

Would be simple to test with past data, surely.

Yep, assuming every announcement is a complete surprise to the market, which is also unlikely.

This would also require you to log all past predictions for a large enough sample of events to be worthwhile.
