Control Print Limited (NSE:CONTROLPR) Insiders Increased Their Holdings

So shareholders might well want to know whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in Control Print Limited (NSE:CONTROLPR).

Do Insider Transactions Matter?

It's quite normal to see company insiders, such as board members, trading in company stock, from time to time. However, such insiders must disclose their trading activities, and not trade on inside information.

We don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. As Peter Lynch said, 'insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise'.
