Insiders who purchased AU$123k worth of Camplify Holdings Limited (ASX:CHL) shares over the past year recouped some of their losses after price gained 14% last week. However, the purchase is proving to be an expensive wager as insiders are yet to get ahead of their losses which currently stand at AU$42k since the time of purchase.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
