Visioneering Technologies Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by insider Paul Cozzi for AU$686k worth of shares, at about AU$0.97 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.22). 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. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. 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.
