We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of AU$0.027.

Does Flexiroam Boast High Insider Ownership?
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. It's great to see that Flexiroam insiders own 60% of the company, worth about AU$6.6m. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.

But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. Once you factor in the high insider ownership, it certainly seems like insiders are positive about Flexiroam. One for the watchlist, at least!
