Yahoo Finance A number of insiders bought Zoom2u Technologies Limited (ASX:Z2U) stock last year, which is great news for shareholders
When a single insider purchases stock, it is typically not a major deal. However, when multiple insiders purchase stock, like in Zoom2u Technologies Limited's (ASX:Z2U) instance, it's good news for shareholders.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
