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.
At Otelco (OTEL), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Monday, Ira Sochet bought 4,874 shares of OTEL, at a cost of $14.53 each, for a total investment of $70,838.
