Insiders Could Have Profited By Holding onto Global Uin Intelligence Holdings Shares Despite 12% Drop

Global Uin Intelligence Holdings Limited's (HKG:8496) value has fallen 12% in the last week, but insiders who sold S$14m worth of stock over the last year have had less success. Given that the average selling price of S$0.29 is still lower than the current share price, insiders would probably have been better off keeping their shares.

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.
