Monday’s Insider Report: Two bank stocks seeing sales

Monday’s Insider Report: Two bank stocks seeing sales

Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.

The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.

Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock’s valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider’s total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company’s shares or units.

isted below is a stock that has had recent buying activity reported by an insider.

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX-T)

On Jan. 11, Mans Johansson invested over $800,000 in shares of Canfor Pulp Products. He purchased 108,000 shares at a cost per share of $7.42.
