We often see insiders buying up shares in companies that perform well over the long term.

Do Insider Transactions Matter?

We don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. For example, a Harvard University study found that 'insider purchases earn abnormal returns of more than 6% per year.'
