There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on June 7, Advance Auto Parts Inc's Director, Eugene I. Lee Jr., invested $500,160.45 into 7,635 shares of AAP, for a cost per share of $65.51. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because 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.
