Monday 7/16 Insider Buying Report: MSVB, IRET Monday, July 16, 10:33 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 cash to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
At MSVB (MSVB), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Wednesday, Director Brent A. Rosenbaum purchased 10,000 shares of MSVB, for a cost of $10.00 each, for a total investment of $100,000.
