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 WPX Energy (WPX), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Thursday, Director William G. Lowrie purchased 11,881 shares of WPX, for a cost of $10.10 each, for a total investment of $119,998.
