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.
On Friday, Cullen/Frost Bankers (NYSE:CFR)'s Director, Carlos Alvarez, made a $5.06M purchase of CFR, buying 54,000 shares at a cost of $93.71 a piece.

Cullen/Frost Bankers is trading up about 1% on the day Wednesday.
And on Tuesday, CEO Douglas S. Ingram purchased $2.01M worth of Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ:SRPT), purchasing 16,695 shares at a cost of $120.39 a piece.
