Sequoia Capital filed a Form 4 showing an open-market purchase of 8 million shares of FIG, bringing their total to 34 million. It is extremely rare for a venture capital firm to buy shares in the open market post-IPO, indicating massive insider conviction in the company's future valuation. Following the "smart money" of a board-represented insider provides a strong bullish signal to buy the stock. Sequoia's purchase could be driven by strategic board control motives rather than pure valuation; general software sector volatility.
