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 Associated Banc-Corp, a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, Director John F. Bergstrom purchased 50,000 shares of ASB, at a cost of $23.00 each, for a total investment of $1.15M. Bargain hunters are able to grab ASB at a price even lower than Bergstrom did, with shares trading as low as $22.34 at last check today -- that's 2.9% under Bergstrom's purchase price. Associated Banc-Corp is trading up about 3.9% on the day Thursday. Before this latest buy, Bergstrom made one other buy in the past year, purchasing $638,663 shares at a cost of $21.65 each.
