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 Top Glove Corporation Bhd. (KLSE:TOPGLOV), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders.

I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
