Looking at CircuTech International Holdings Limited's (HKG:8051 ) insider transactions over the last year, we can see that insiders were net buyers. That is, there were more number of shares purchased by insiders than there were sold.
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.
Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Non-Executive Director Weiru Lin bought HK$7.8m worth of shares at a price of HK$3.00 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being HK$2.80). It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Weiru Lin.
