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. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
On Thursday, American Tower (NYSE:AMT)'s Director, Ronald M. Dykes, made a $277,385 purchase of AMT, buying 2,900 shares at a cost of $95.65 a piece.

And also on Thursday, President, CEO Louis S. Haddad bought $242,250 worth of Armada Hoffler Properties (NYSE:AHH), buying 25,000 shares at a cost of $9.69 each.
