Insiders Are Buying These 3 Stocks

Investors closely monitor insider buys. But who are ‘insiders’?

An insider is defined by Section 16 of the Security Exchange Act as an officer, director, 10% stockholder, or anyone who possesses information because of their relationship with the company.

Of course, many strict rules apply to insiders. Notably, they have a longer holding period than most, a critical aspect investors should know.

Several companies – Grief GEF, SentinelOne S, and Ceasars Entertainment CZR – have all seen recent insider activity. Let’s take a closer look at the transactions for those interested in trading like the insiders.
