| Only Eight Dow Components With Recent Insider Buying, AXP is One of ThemBy Dividend Channel Staff, Tuesday, November 15, 11:27 AM ET
The officers and directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when these insiders make purchases, investors are wise to take notice.
