Thursday 7/30 Insider Buying Report: MINI, FSIC Thursday, July 30, 10:51 AM 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 dollars to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
At Mobile Mini (MINI), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Monday, Director Lawrence Trachtenberg purchased 7,000 shares of MINI, at a cost of $34.87 each, for a total investment of $244,097.

This purchase marks the first one filed by Trachtenberg in the past year.
And at FS Investment Corporation (FSIC), there was insider buying on Monday, by Chief Executive Officer Michael C. Forman who bought 24,140 shares for a cost of $9.76 each, for a trade totaling $235,521.
