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.
At vTv Therapeutics (NASDAQ:VTVT), a filing with the SEC revealed that on Friday, Ronald O. Perelman bought 570,776 shares of VTVT, at a cost of $4.38 each, for a total investment of $2.5M.
