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 cash to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
At Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ:HBAN), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, President, CEO & Chairman Stephen D. Steinour purchased 17,540 shares of HBAN, for a cost of $9.35 each, for a total investment of $163,981. Huntington Bancshares is trading up about 0.3% on the day Wednesday.
