Thursday 6/14 Insider Buying Report: GABC, TCRD Thursday, June 14, 10:58 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 German American Bancorp (GABC), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, Chris A. Ramsey purchased 27,509 shares of GABC, at a cost of $36.85 each, for a total investment of $1.01M.
