Shree Minerals Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Non-Executive Director Davide Bosio bought AU$120k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.012 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of AU$0.01. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. Davide Bosio was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.
