The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Revival Gold
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when President Hugh Agro bought CA$122k worth of shares at a price of CA$0.61 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than CA$0.40 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when insiders have purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price.
