Peter Thiel is taking chips off the table just not in the way you'd expect. The Palantir (NASDAQ PLTR) co-founder has pledged over $1.2 billion worth of shares, or roughly 10% of his stake, as collateral for personal debt. It's the first time this appears in Palantir's proxy filings and it comes after a blockbuster 2024, when Thiel sold about one-third of his PLTR holdings for $1.5 billion pre-tax. He's not alone. A wave of insider selling has followed Palantir's near-60% rally since Trump's inauguration, with even President Stephen Cohen offloading over $337 million worth of shares in Q1.

Snip

Palantir may be outperforming the S&P 500 (SPY), but the sell signals are starting to pile up. When founders and insiders race for the exits after a rally, it's rarely by accident. The company still has momentum, sure. But if you're buying here, just know: the people who built it are already cashing in. Emphasis mine.
