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 Monday, Packaging Corp of America (NYSE:PKG)'s Director, Thomas S. Souleles, made a $436,398 buy of PKG, purchasing 6,000 shares at a cost of $72.73 a piece.

Packaging Corp of America is trading up about 1.9% on the day Tuesday. This purchase marks the first one filed by Souleles in the past twelve months.
And on Friday, Director William H. Hood III bought $250,000 worth of United Insurance Holdings Corp (UIHC), buying 20,000 shares at a cost of $12.50 each.
