Insider Stock Buying Reaches US$1.3m On VOXX International
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 VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ:VOXX), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

Does VOXX International Boast High Insider Ownership?
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own.

We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
