The Canada-listed cannabis stocks we’ve identified have seen notable insider buying in the last three months
SmallCapPower | November 19, 2019: Insiders are defined as any person with access to key company information before it is released to the public, or someone who owns more than 10% of a company’s shares. Insiders include individuals such as officers, directors, and relatives. Since insider ownership and trading may cause changes in share prices, government bodies require companies to report this information, giving investors a sense of insider activity within a company. It is important to know which insiders to pay attention to, as insiders with proven track records should be watched more closely for the best insights into a company. The four Canada-listed cannabis stocks we have dug up today have experienced significant insider buying recently, which could be a good omen for its shareholders.
