FLXS Trading Below COO's Recent Buy PriceBy Market News Video Staff, Tuesday, March 30, 1:10 PM ETThere's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on March 4, Flexsteel Industries, Inc.'s COO, Derek P. Schmidt, invested $50,052.45 into 1,533 shares of FLXS, for a cost per share of $32.65. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money. In trading on Tuesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLXS) and achieve a cost basis 3.4% cheaper than Schmidt, with shares changing hands as low as $31.54 per share. It should be noted that Schmidt has collected $0.15/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently down 2.9% on their purchase from a total return basis. Flexsteel Industries, Inc. shares are currently trading off about 0.6% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of FLXS shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
