| Top Buys by Top Brass: Chief Executive Officer Stabell's $143.1K Bet on EPSNBy Energy Stock Channel Staff, Thursday, December 21, 10:02 AM ET
A company's own top management tend to have the best inside view into the business, so when company officers make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So in this series we look at the largest insider buys by the ''top brass'' over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $143.1K by Jason Stabell, Chief Executive Officer at Epsilon Energy Ltd (NASDAQ:EPSN). Stabell bets big on EPSN:
Stabell's average cost works out to $5.50/share. In trading on Thursday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Epsilon Energy Ltd (NASDAQ:EPSN) and achieve a cost basis lower than Stabell, with shares changing hands as low as $5.19 per share. It should be noted that Stabell has collected $0.06/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently down 4.5% on their purchase from a total return basis. Shares of Epsilon Energy Ltd were changing hands at $5.20 at last check, trading up about 0.5% on Thursday.
