Land This Bargain Even Cheaper Than General Counsel Soncini Did
By Market News Video Staff, Tuesday, June 27, 1:18 PM ET
There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on May 26, Acacia Research Corp's General Counsel, Jason W. Soncini, invested $49,500.00 into 12,500 shares of ACTG, for a cost per share of $3.96. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money.
In trading on Tuesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Acacia Research Corp (NASDAQ:ACTG) and achieve a cost basis 1.0% cheaper than Soncini, with shares changing hands as low as $3.92 per share. Acacia Research Corp shares are currently trading off about 3.8% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of ACTG shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, ACTG's low point in its 52 week range is $3.43 per share, with $5.30 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $3.94. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which ACTG insider buying was recorded over the last six months:
