Even though Jubilee Metals Group PLC's (LON:JLP) stock is down 11% this week, insiders who bought lately made a UK£47k profit

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.
