Insiders In Salasar Exteriors And Contour Left Out From 15% Price Rise After Disposing Stock
Last week, Salasar Exteriors And Contour Limited's (NSE:SECL) stock jumped 15%, but insiders who sold ₹24m worth of stock in over the past year are likely to be in a better position. Selling at an average price of ₹24.84, which is higher than the current price, may have been the wisest decision for these insiders as their investment would have been worth less now than when they sold.
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

Salasar Exteriors And Contour Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
The MD & Director, Shreekishan Joshi, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for ₹11m worth of shares at a price of ₹22.90 each. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (₹19.80). So it may not shed much light on insider confidence at current levels. Shreekishan Joshi was the only individual insider to sell over the last year.
