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.
On Thursday, Delta Air Lines' Director, George N. Mattson, made a $272,640 buy of DAL, purchasing 6,000 shares at a cost of $45.44 a piece.

This buy marks the first one filed by Mattson in the past year.
And on Wednesday, Director Marna C. Whittington bought $205,451 worth of Macy's, buying 10,000 shares at a cost of $20.55 a piece.
