Having purchased CA$1.1m worth of Mobi724 Global Solutions Inc. (CVE:MOS) stock, the recent 33% pullback is not what insiders may have expected

Insiders who bought CA$1.1m worth of Mobi724 Global Solutions Inc.'s (CVE:MOS) stock at an average buy price of CA$0.025 over the last year may be disappointed by the recent 33% decrease in the stock. Insiders buy with the expectation to see their investments rise in value over a period of time. However, recent losses have rendered their above investment worth CA$429k which is not ideal.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
