Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned dollars to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money.

(WFR), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Thursday, Director Steven Vincent Tesoriere bought 3,238,000 shares of WFR, for a cost of $2.27 each, for a total investment of $7.36M.
