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 Tuesday, Landec's Director, Nelson Obus, made a $310,000 buy of LNDC, purchasing 30,000 shares at a cost of $10.33 a piece. So far Obus is in the green, up about 2.1% on their buy based on today's trading high of $10.55. Landec is trading up about 0.1% on the day Thursday. Before this latest buy, Obus bought LNDC at 3 other times during the past twelve months, for a total investment of $630,540 at an average of $11.92 per share.
