[Editor's Note: This article is updated each week with the latest insider purchasing. Check back regularly to see who's making moves.]An insider is a person who has access to confidential information about a company. And when I'm analyzing a company as a potential long-term investment, I always like to know what the insiders are doing. They have a much better idea of what is happening in the company than most analysts. When there is insider buying after the price of the stock has recently dropped, it could be a bullish signal.Over the years, there have been numerous examples of insiders using this information to profit at the expense of uninformed investors. For example, suppose an insider knows that news is about to be released that will make the stock price go up. They can buy it from a shareholder who doesn't have access to the news at a cheaper price then benefit from the gains.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsBecause of these abuses, the SEC has established rules and procedures to prevent this type of activity. When an insider wants to buy or sell their company's stock, they have to file a form with the SEC. This is public information, and it can lead to investment ideas.There are numerous reasons why an insider of a company may need to sell their stock. They may need to raise money for things such as tuition or to buy a home. However, there is only one reason why an insider would buy their company's stock -- they believe that it is undervalued and they will make money. * 7 Stocks to Buy Under $10 These seven stocks have had significant insider buying recently and could be worth a look. Stocks With Insider Buying: Church & Dwight (CHD)Church & Dwight (NYSE:CHD) manufactures and sells household, personal care and specialty products.CHD stock has been under pressure recently. Well-known short seller Ben Axler of Spruce Point Capital Management said that the company engages is "extreme financial engineering, aggressive accounting and material self-enrichment practices." That sounds pretty bad.Matthew Farrell is the president and CEO of Church & Dwight. Apparently he disagrees with this assessment.
