Tuesday 9/11 Insider Buying Report: ETP, AVK Tuesday, September 11, 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 Monday, Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP)'s Chief Executive Officer, Kelcy L. Warren, made a $44.85M purchase of ETP, buying 2,000,000 shares at a cost of $22.42 a piece.
