So What Does This Data Suggest About Tanga Resources Insiders?
It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchases. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of Tanga Resources we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future.
