The morning told you Marcos Mindlin put $1.72 million into Pampa Energia on August 31. What it could not show you is that this was the fifth time he has bought since June — and that he sold three million shares in between.
You read this morning that Mindlin, the founder of Argentina’s largest independent energy company, added 500,000 shares at the end of August. Tonight, I want to show you the full sequence — because one buy is a headline, but five buys around a single sale tells a different story.

Five Buys. One Sale. Still There.
Pampa Energia (NYSE: PAM) is Argentina’s largest independent integrated energy company. It operates across the full energy chain — natural gas production, electricity generation, and petrochemicals — making it less a single-commodity bet than a proxy for Argentine energy reform. Its American Depositary Shares trade in New York, which is why Mindlin’s purchases appear in SEC filings.
The investment case rests on one macro trade: President Javier Milei’s deregulation of Argentina’s energy sector. Under prior governments, energy prices were capped below market, compressing producer margins across the industry. Milei removed those caps, restoring pricing power — the ability to charge what the market will bear rather than what a regulator allows — to producers and generators. Pampa’s natural gas segment, its highest-margin business, now sells into an open market.

Across five buy clusters since June, Mindlin has purchased roughly 4 million shares and committed approximately $13.5 million of personal capital. He had a clean exit in July and chose not to take it. He is still buying at the same price he paid in June.
NATE’S TAKE
I have watched a lot of founder buying over 25 years, and the pattern that carries the most information is not the biggest single purchase — it is the founder who keeps returning. Mindlin sold 3 million shares in July, which gave him a perfectly defensible exit. He used the proceeds to buy back in, four more times. The stock is still under $3.50. He is still there. One Form 4 is a data point. Five of them, with a sale in the middle, is a statement.
