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. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
On Monday, Capstead Mortgage Corp. (CMO)'s Director, John L. Bernard, made a $150,137 purchase of CMO, buying 20,000 shares at a cost of $7.51 a piece.

Capstead Mortgage Corp. is trading up about 0.8% on the day Tuesday. Before this latest buy, Bernard purchased CMO at 2 other times during the past year, for a total investment of $68,394 at an average of $6.84 per share.
And also on Monday, Director Jack M. Lewis purchased $109,500 worth of National Bankshares (NASDAQ:NKSH), purchasing 3,000 shares at a cost of $36.50 each.
