Why Execs Won’t Stop Talking About These 8 Penny Stocks
When an insider buys a penny stock or any stock for the matter, it is often a good sign for investors. This shows both institutional confidence in a company and belief in its short or long-term future. But it’s worth noting that just because an insider buys shares in a penny stock, does not mean that the company is worth it.
In tandem with this, investors should do their own research to see if a penny stock is as valuable as it looks. In 2021, traders love to see which companies are on insiders watchlists.
