Wednesday 4/18 Insider Buying Report: RHP, AZO Wednesday, April 18, 10:32 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 Ryman Hospitality Properties (RHP), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, CEO Colin V. Reed purchased 6,142 shares of RHP, for a cost of $79.34 each, for a total investment of $487,291.
