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.

Before this latest buy, Whitfield made one other buy in the past twelve months, purchasing $628,250 shares at a cost of $17.95 each. Nektar Therapeutics is trading up about 2% on the day Friday. Bargain hunters have the opportunity to bag NKTR at a price even lower than Whitfield did, with the stock trading as low as $53.60 at last check today which is 7.7% under Whitfield's purchase price.
