Notably, that recent purchase by David Snell is the biggest insider purchase of Ivrnet shares that we've seen in the last year. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is CA$0.025. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed.
