Top Buys by Directors: Thompson's $186K Bet on GSS

Now Playing: One Reason For Insiders to Buy


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

The directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when directors make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So in this series we look at the largest insider buys by company directors over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $186K by Christopher M.T. Thompson, Director at Golden Star Resources Ltd. (AMEX:GSS).

Thompson bets big on GSS:

Purchased Insider Title Shares Price/Share Value
05/22/2012 Christopher M.T. Thompson Director 200,000 $0.93 $186,000.00

Thompson's average cost works out to $0.93/share. Shares of Golden Star Resources Ltd. were changing hands at $1.25 at last check, trading off about 0.8% on Wednesday. The chart below shows the one year performance of GSS shares, versus its 200 day moving average:

Looking at the chart above, GSS's low point in its 52 week range is $0.90 per share, with $2.78 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $1.25.

According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, GSS makes up 1.04% of the Junior Gold Miners ETF (AMEX:GDXJ) which is trading lower by about 0.2% on the day Wednesday.
