Yahoo Finance Bullish Complii FinTech Solutions Ltd (ASX:CF1) insiders filled their treasuries with AU$850k worth of stock over last year
Generally, when a single insider buys stock, it is usually not a big deal. However, when several insiders are buying, like in the case of Complii FinTech Solutions Ltd (ASX:CF1), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Complii FinTech Solutions
The insider, Jason Peterson, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$240k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.04 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of AU$0.10, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower valuation. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don't know for sure what they think of the stock price. It is worth noting that this sale was only 27% of Jason Peterson's holding. The only individual insider seller over the last year was Jason Peterson.
In the last twelve months insiders purchased 16.41m shares for AU$850k. On the other hand they divested 8.41m shares, for AU$361k.

Insider Ownership

This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
