Insiders who bought CA$1.23m worth of Tribe Property Technologies Inc.'s (CVE:TRBE) stock at an average buy price of CA$0.87 over the last year may be disappointed by the recent 13% decrease in the stock. This is not good as insiders invest based on expectations that their money will appreciate over time. However, as a result of recent losses, their original investment is now worth only CA$550.2k.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
