This Rosslyn Data Technologies Insider Increased Their Holding By 958% Last Year

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.
The Independent Non-Executive Chairman James Appleby made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for UK£264k worth of shares at a price of UK£0.05 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of UK£0.037. 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. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when an insider has purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was James Appleby.
