This Ethernity Networks Insider Increased Their Holding By 13% Last Year \

Viewing insider transactions for Ethernity Networks Ltd.'s (LON:ENET ) over the last year, we see that insiders were net buyers. This means that a larger number of shares were purchased by insiders in relation to shares sold.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

Ethernity Networks Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Founder Shavit Baruch for UK£47k worth of shares, at about UK£0.07 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being UK£0.029). Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Shavit Baruch.
