Complii FinTech Solutions Insider Sellers Miss The Bus As Stock Jumps 14%

While it’s been a great week for Complii FinTech Solutions Ltd (ASX:CF1) shareholders after stock gained 14%, not so much for insiders who sold stock over the past year. Had they waited, they might have been able to sell their stock at much higher prices and thereby received a better value on their investment.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
