Investors should stay tuned to insider buying and selling activities as they can provide valuable insights into a company’s prospects. While insider transactions alone should not be the sole basis for investment decisions, they can offer clues about management’s confidence in the company’s future performance and potential upcoming developments. However, it’s important to consider these transactions in conjunction with other fundamental and technical analysis factors before making any investment choices.
