Insider buying can be an encouraging signal for potential investors, especially when markets are near all-time highs.
Some insiders were making return trips to the buy window last week.
Some chief executives were adding to their stakes as well.
When insiders purchase shares, it indicates their confidence in the company's prospects or that they view the stock as a bargain. Either way, this signals an opportunity to go long on the stock. Insider purchases should not be taken as the only indicator for making an investment or trading decision. At best, it can lend conviction to a buying decision.
