Insiders at New Delhi Television Limited (NSE:NDTV) made a tidy sum after selling stock currently priced at ₹191 at a price of ₹222

New Delhi Television Limited's (NSE:NDTV) stock rose 13% last week, but insiders who sold ₹10m worth of stock over the last year are probably in a more advantageous position. Selling at an average price of ₹222, 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.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
