Tuesday 4/23 Insider Buying Report: MS, HOFT Tuesday, April 23, 10:45 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.

And on Monday, Director Henry G. Williamson Jr. purchased $225,040 worth of Hooker Furniture Corp (HOFT), purchasing 8,000 shares at a cost of $28.13 a piece.
