Yahoo Finance Positive Signs As Multiple Insiders Buy Caldwell Partners International Stock
Generally, when a single insider buys stock, it is usually not a big deal. However, when several insiders are buying, like in the case of The Caldwell Partners International Inc. (TSE:CWL), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
