Now Playing: One Reason For Insiders to Buy


If the video does not load after a few moments, Upgrade to the Latest Flash Player.

There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on November 17, Greenhill & Company Incorporated's Director, John C Danforth, invested $193,776.48 into 5,150 shares of GHL, for a cost per share of $37.63. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money.

In trading on Tuesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Greenhill & Company Incorporated (NYSE:GHL) and achieve a cost basis 5.1% cheaper than Danforth, with shares changing hands as low as $35.71 per share. Greenhill & Company Incorporated shares are currently trading off about 1.2% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of GHL shares, versus its 200 day moving average:

Looking at the chart above, GHL's low point in its 52 week range is $26.38 per share, with $84.51 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $36.08. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which insider buying was recorded over the last six months:

The current annualized dividend paid by Greenhill & Company Incorporated is $1.80/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend has an upcoming ex-date of 12/05/2011. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for GHL, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 4.9% annualized yield is likely to continue.

According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, GHL makes up 3.39% of the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Broker-Dealers Index Fund ETF (AMEX:IAI) which is trading higher by about 0.1% on the day Tuesday.
