Top Stocks With Insider Buying, Buybacks
Updated from 7:07 a.m. EDT
Part of the philosophy of Stockpickr is to follow in the footsteps of smart people. This could mean a few different things.
First, it could mean piggybacking great investors like Warren Buffett or George Soros. Other times it means buying what the CEOs, employees and directors of a company are buying. These are people who know the intimate details of their companies far better than you or me.
The perfect setup is when one of these company insiders or an entire board (in the case of a stock buyback) are buying shares at the same time that some smart savvy investors are as well.
Each Thursday we update the Stockpickr
