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 November 13, Air Products & Chemicals Inc's CEO, Seifi Ghasemi, invested $2,908,620.00 into 11,000 shares of APD, for a cost per share of $264.42. 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.

In trading on Tuesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Air Products & Chemicals Inc (NYSE:APD) and achieve a cost basis even cheaper than Ghasemi, with shares changing hands as low as $263.86 per share. Air Products & Chemicals Inc shares are currently trading down about 2.2% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of APD shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
