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.

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.
