Context
Insider purchases can be interpreted as a positive sign, but this was a relatively small transaction in dollar terms and should be weighed with other information about the company and insider holdings. The Power of Attorney note indicates the filing references prior authorization paperwork; it does not change the nature of the purchase. As always, factual insider buys do not guarantee future stock performance.
