360 Capital Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent purchase by Executive Chairman Tony Pitt was not their only acquisition of 360 Capital Group shares this year. They previously made an even bigger purchase of AU$837k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.82 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is AU$0.84. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. The good news for 360 Capital Group share holders is that insiders were buying at near the current price.

It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
