As the saying goes, there are many possible reasons for an insider to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy — they expect to make money. So let's look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
At Francesca's Holdings Corp (FRAN), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, Director Martyn R. Redgrave purchased 15,000 shares of FRAN, at a cost of $3.93 each, for a total investment of $58,950. Francesca's Holdings Corp is trading up about 3% on the day Wednesday.
