We've lost count of how many times insiders have accumulated shares in a company that goes on to improve markedly.

So we'll take a look at whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in ByggPartner i Dalarna Holding AB (publ) (STO:BYGGP).
Do Insider Transactions Matter?
Most investors know that it is quite permissible for company leaders, such as directors of the board, to buy and sell stock in the company. However, such insiders must disclose their trading activities, and not trade on inside information.
Insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. As Peter Lynch said, 'insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise.'
