Author: Avi Kapoor | January 03, 2024 10:28am

Although U.S. stocks closed mostly lower on the first trading day of 2024, there were a few notable insider trades.

When insiders purchase shares, it indicates their confidence in the company's prospects or that they view the stock as a bargain. Either way, this signals an opportunity to go long on the stock. Insider purchases should not be taken as the only indicator for making an investment or trading decision. At best, it can lend conviction to a buying decision.
