DMCC Speciality Chemicals Limited (NSE:DMCC) insiders made a handsome profit after selling stock presently valued at ₹277 apiece for ₹299

Last week, DMCC Speciality Chemicals Limited's (NSE:DMCC) stock jumped 11%, but insiders who sold ₹2.8m worth of stock in over the past year are likely to be in a better position. Selling at an average price of ₹299, which is higher than the current price, may have been the best move for these insiders because their investment would have been worth less now than when they sold.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
