Popular origin of either prized or fake tips.
Mostly are just some make-believes which start from "I hear that..."

I want to state publicly here first that I have no insider knowledge.

The info you hear is really dependent on level and in some cases the role. If you are hearing directly from C level bosses, it takes less interpretation. From admin planners or engineers, you might need to connect the dots.
I also have friends working in Intel which is a huge MNC. Chances are if they are in a senior engineer role, that is all they are going to see. Sometimes they are a supplier to a major company, and they get a huge order for specific component for next month. If you can connect the dots which products are linked to that big buy order, you have a picture of what is going to happen the following quarter. Or you see ten new lines being loaded onto the Production floor, you can guesstimate it will be running soon and affecting the total output. Stuff like this may require a bit of an understanding across the supply chain to benefit.
The lunch/dinner blow water stock tips usually in one ear and out the other for me. These fellas when start talking, the wind gets very strong if you get my drift.
I prefer to hear about the company fundamentals or industry news.
Exactly. The level of various positions makes the dots all over places. Fundamentals are important but hearsays are always, as you said, differ in levels but it does provide some good guesstimation.
Most of my stuffs are from googling and have neither fundamentals or industry news. It will be interesting though but signs can be seen from the charts whether someone is accumulating, again, by guessing.

knowing too much, or too little can form biases. Market, a secondary one has no direct correlation with almost anything in short term, herd/crowd psychology, manipulation, supply and demand, yada yada. It's an art and people have different beliefs.

And most importantly, what are some of the infos? Many leaks with the gloves last year, anything interesting in Penang side? Ramping up production, supply chain disruption, price increase, etc?

come give some.
