Jubilee Metals Group PLC (LON:JLP) insiders who acquired shares over the previous 12 months, can probably afford to ignore the recent 11% decline in the stock price. Reason being, despite the recent loss, insiders original purchase value of UK£108k is now worth UK£155k.

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.

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when CEO & Executive Director Leon Coetzer bought UK£55k worth of shares at a price of UK£0.11 per share. We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of UK£0.15. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.

It appears that Jubilee Metals Group insiders own 6.4% of the company, worth about UK£22m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
