Wednesday 1/8 Insider Buying Report: IVH, OPK Wednesday, January 8, 12:28 PM ET
Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned cash to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
On Tuesday, Ivy High Income Opportunities Fund (IVH)'s, John E. Sundeen Jr., made a $363,360 buy of IVH, purchasing 20,000 shares at a cost of $18.17 a piece.

And also on Tuesday, Director John A. Paganelli purchased $84,472 worth of Opko Health (OPK), purchasing 10,000 shares at a cost of $8.45 a piece. This purchase marks the first one filed by Paganelli in the past year. Opko Health is trading up about 0.7% on the day Wednesday.
