Top Buys by Directors: Casey Jr.'s $995.6K Bet on XRAYBy Market News Video Staff, Monday, December 6, 1:21 PM ETThe directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when directors make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both.
