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.

At Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Tuesday, Director James M.
