Save for later Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they
have control or direction over. The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts. Keep in mind, when
looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock’s valuation; perhaps an
insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider’s total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining
position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company’s shares or units. Let's begin the report featuring
two stocks that have had recent insider buying activity. CANWEL BUILDING MATERIALS GROUP LTD. (CWX-T) On Sept. 27, president Marc Séguin purchased 10,000 shares at a cost per share of $5.73.
