| Top Buys by Directors: Essex Jr.'s $193.7K Bet on COFSBy Dividend Channel Staff, Wednesday, September 6, 4:02 PM ET
The directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when directors make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock 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 company directors over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $193.7K by Bruce John Essex Jr., Director at ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:COFS). Essex Jr. bets big on COFS:
Essex Jr.'s average cost works out to $21.52/share. Shares of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. were changing hands at $23.50 at last check, trading off about 3.4% on Wednesday. The chart below shows the one year performance of COFS shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, COFS's low point in its 52 week range is $20.33 per share, with $29.99 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $23.50.
