Insight into Insider Buying
For savvy investors, the trail of insider buying often leads to hidden treasures. When company executives spend their own money on company stock, it’s like a sheriff investing his own gold in the local mine – a strong indication of prosperity ahead. Today, we uncover two intriguing cases of insider purchases that may hint at brighter days.

Hurlston, with a calculated hand, bought 21,747 shares of ALAB at $36.00 apiece, planting a seed of faith worth $782,892. As the sun rose on Monday’s trading, Hurlston’s investment flourished, sprouting a growth of 126.9% at the stock’s peak of $81.69.
