Lycopodium Insider Transactions Over The Last Year The Executive Director, Bruno Ruggiero, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$6.8m worth of shares at a price of AU$10.39 each. That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (AU$12.85). As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower valuation. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. This single sale was just 39% of Bruno Ruggiero's stake. Over the last year we saw more insider selling of Lycopodium shares, than buying.
