Wednesday 5/9 Insider Buying Report: AYI, LADR Wednesday, May 9, 10:37 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 Acuity Brands (AYI), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, Director George Douglas Dillard Jr. bought 5,000 shares of AYI, for a cost of $112.76 each, for a total investment of $563,800.

And on Monday, Chairman Alan H. Fishman bought $250,644 worth of Ladder Capital (LADR), buying 17,500 shares at a cost of $14.32 each. Ladder Capital is trading up about 0.5% on the day Wednesday.
