Monday 9/24 Insider Buying Report: SBBX, LTS Monday, September 24, 10:31 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.
On Wednesday, SB One Bancorp (SBBX)'s Director, Edward J. Leppert, made a $132,500 purchase of SBBX, buying 5,000 shares at a cost of $26.50 a piece.
