As the saying goes, there are many possible reasons for an insider to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy -- they expect to make money. So let's look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
At Nexpoint Diversified Real Estate Trust, a filing with the SEC revealed that on Wednesday, Director Arthur B. Laffer bought 6,762 shares of NXDT, for a cost of $14.79 each, for a total investment of $100,010. Bargain hunters can grab NXDT at a price even lower than Laffer did, with the stock changing hands as low as $14.56 in trading on Thursday -- that's 1.6% below Laffer's purchase price. Nexpoint Diversified Real Estate Trust is trading off about 0.6% on the day Thursday.
And at Voxx International, there was insider buying on Monday, by CEO Patrick M. Lavelle who purchased 12,100 shares for a cost of $7.37 each, for a total investment of $89,159.
