Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned cash to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
On Tuesday, New York Community Bancorp's Director, Ronald A. Rosenfeld, made a $247,000 buy of NYCB, purchasing 20,000 shares at a cost of $12.35 a piece.
