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 Exxon Mobil, a filing with the SEC revealed that on Wednesday, Director Michael J. Angelakis purchased 5,000 shares of XOM, for a cost of $64.00 each, for a total investment of $320,000.

And also on Wednesday, Director Kenneth J. Phelan bought $314,220 worth of Huntington Bancshares, buying 20,000 shares at a cost of $15.71 each.
