Have Insiders Been Buying World-Link Logistics (Asia) Holding Limited (HKG:6083) Shares This Year?

We've lost count of how many times insiders have accumulated shares in a company that goes on to improve markedly.

What Is Insider Selling?

It's quite normal to see company insiders, such as board members, trading in company stock, from time to time. However, rules govern insider transactions, and certain disclosures are required.

We don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. For example, a Columbia University study found that 'insiders are more likely to engage in open market purchases of their own company’s stock when the firm is about to reveal new agreements with customers and suppliers'.
